Australian flag carrier Qantas has apologized after an R-rated movie was played on every screen during a flight.
The incident occurred on a flight between Sydney and Haneda Airport in Tokyo.
Technical issues with the Airbus A330’s in-flight entertainment system meant passengers couldn’t select their own movies.
Qantas said its crew members had a limited list of movies that could be played across every screen, and some passengers had requested a particular movie.
The Guardian reported that the film shown was “Daddio” — a 2023 film starring Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn.
It’s rated R for language throughout, sexual material, and brief graphic nudity. According to the Guardian, one passenger described it as “40 minutes of penis and boobs.”
