Investigations revealed that during the flight, while in his seat, the passenger allegedly unzipped his pants, exposed his genitals and covered himself with a blanket
He then set up his mobile phone and switched it to video recording mode. When a female cabin crew approached him to serve his meal, he purportedly removed the blanket and exposed his genitals to her in full view.
The flight attendant quickly left the man's seat and reported the matter to her supervisor.
Once the aircraft landed in Changi Airport, the man was arrested by officers from Airport Police Division and his phone was seized.
The man will be charged in court on March 12 with the offence of sexual exposure, which carries an imprisonment term up to one year, a fine or both.
