A passenger has been fined for urinating in a cup during a delay in deplaning after landing at Sydney Airport.

A passenger has been fined for urinating in a cup during a delay in deplaning after landing at Sydney Airport.

The incident, after a 3-hour Air New Zealand flight from Auckland, occurred last December and a Sydney court fined the 53-year-old man 600 Australian dollars ($395) for offensive behavior in February, officials said Friday.

The incident only came to public attention on Friday, when New Zealand news website Stuff reported that a passenger in the same row, identified only as Hollv, said she had reported the behavior to the air crew.

She said she and her 15-year-old daughter were sitting in the aisle and middle seats when the man in the window seat, whose name has not been released, was urinating in a cup.

Holly said the plane had been on the tarmac for about 20 minutes, waiting for a terminal gate to be allocated, when she heard the unmistakable sound of the passenger urinating in a cup, Stuff reported.

      Seems like the airline could have just… not over served him and none of this would have happened.

      Edit: yeah it sounds like over serving alcohol may be a recurring problem for this airline:

      “It said it bans between five and 10 customers each month for disruptive behavior, including intoxication.”
