Adult film plays on all screens in Qantas Flight for an hour: What the airline said in its apology – Times of India

Passengers on Haneda, Tokyo-bound Qantas flight found themselves in an awkward situation when an adult-rated movie started playing mid-way. The incident was shared by a Reddit user who stated that passengers were unable to pause the movie. “..the movie they played was extremely inappropriate. It featured graphic nudity and a lot of sexting – the kind where you could literally read the texts on screen without needing headphones,” he wrote in the post.
The individual further said that the movie played for almost an hour before the airline “switched to a more kid-friendly movie”.Other users on Reddit were able to recognize the movie. Commenting on the post, a Reddit user wrote “this is from the movie daddio with Sean Penn and Dakota johnson ( she was in his taxi getting those texts from a married man while in the back of Penn’s taxi ) for reference”.

Here’s what the Reddit user wrote

So, I was on Qantas flight QF59 from Sydney to Haneda today, and the in-flight entertainment system was down. After a one-hour delay, the pilot decided to take off anyway, but the only option left was for the crew to play a movie on every screen – and it was impossible to pause, dim, or turn it off.
Here’s the kicker: the movie they played was extremely inappropriate. It featured graphic nudity and a lot of sexting – the kind where you could literally read the texts on screen without needing headphones. 😬
It took almost an hour of this before they switched to a more kid-friendly movie, but it was super uncomfortable for everyone, especially with families and kids onboard. I’ve attached a few pics of the scenes (only from the sexting parts, no nudity).
How is this acceptable for a major airline? Has anyone else had something like this happen?

What Qantas said

Confirming the incident, a Qantas spokesperson told news.com.au, “The movie was clearly not suitable to play for the whole flight and we sincerely apologise 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. We are reviewing how the movie was selected.”
