Qantas Apologizes for Broadcasting Explicit Film on Flight
A technical glitch forced the airline to play an R-rated movie across all screens on a Sydney to Tokyo flight, prompting an apology to passengers.
- The incident occurred on a Qantas flight from Sydney to Haneda Airport in Tokyo, where individual movie selection was unavailable due to technical issues.
- The film shown was 'Daddio,' starring Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn, which contains graphic nudity and explicit content, making it unsuitable for all audiences.
- Passengers, including families with children, were unable to turn off or dim their screens, leading to discomfort and complaints.
- Qantas has issued a formal apology and switched to a family-friendly movie after about an hour into the flight.
- The airline is investigating the selection process for in-flight movies to prevent similar incidents in the future.
