SYDNEY – Passengers aboard a Qantas flight to Tokyo last week got more inflight entertainment than they bargained for when a film featuring sex talk and explicit images was broadcast to every screen.
Technical problems meant individual movie selection was not available on the flight from Sydney, leaving the crew to pick one film to be aired to the whole cabin.
Their selection of Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn’s racy drama Daddio was a surprise to many, and the airline, which apologised.
According to one review, the movie features references to sex acts, photos depicting private parts and sex-related dialogue and texting.
A Qantas spokesperson said: “The movie was clearly not suitable to play for the whole flight and we sincerely apologise to customers for this experience.”
Once the mistake was clear, “all screens were changed to a family-friendly movie for the rest of the flight”.
“We are reviewing how the movie was selected.” AFP
