The company sacked the 34-year-old stating that the allegations against Mr Mishra were "deeply disturbing".
Mr Mishra is missing, and a lookout notice or airport alert has been put out as the police hunt for him.
On a New York-Delhi Air India flight on November 26, Mr Mishra allegedly unzipped his pants and urinated on a woman in the business class.
The man was allowed to leave without any action. Air India filed a police complaint only on January 4. The airline defended the delay, saying it had believed the woman and the offender had "settled the matter".
