Australian airline apologizes after showing R-rated movie on every screen during flight
· Oct 11, 2024 · NottheBee.com

Well, this is embarrassing for Australia's Qantas Airways.

They played this R-rated movie on every screen in the cabin, and passengers couldn't turn it off.

There had been a technical issue, and instead of giving passengers the option to choose from a list of movies, they could only play one of them. There were a bunch of passengers asking for this particular movie, so the crew turned it on for everyone to see.

The R-rated movie: Daddio, the trailer of which I'll show you now.

Oh cool, a movie about cheating on your spouse!

And they played it for everyone on the flight.

One shocked passenger said there was 'no way to turn it off' and was floored by the racy nudity and obscene ‘sexts' that were displayed on each seat's screen …

The film is rated R for its explicit sexual material and graphic nudity, including photos of exposed genitals and sexually-charged text messages.

‘Qantas played an inappropriate movie to the whole plane, there was no way to turn it off,' one passenger shared on Reddit.

Okay, I'm beginning to wonder here: If this movie features graphic nudity — literally genitals — why even have it as an option at all? I mean, I wouldn't even want to have this movie playing on my iPad during a flight in fear of someone catching some nudity over my shoulder, but they're offering it on their own screens?

Qantas released this statement:

The movie was clearly not suitable to play for the whole flight and we sincerely apologize to customers for this experience. All screens were changed to a family-friendly movie for the rest of the flight, which is our standard practice for the rare cases where individual movie selection isn't possible.

Come on, Qantas.


You're better than that!

I'll leave you with some Australian coverage of this mixup:
