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, reports news.com.au.

Qantas has confirmed the incident to news.com.au and stated that due to technical issues, individual movie selection was not available.

The Qantas flight QF59 was travelling from Sydney, Australia, to Haneda, Japan.

The airlines said the staff asked the passengers what movie they wanted to watch.

As a result, Daddio (2023) was played across screens.

“Qantas played an inappropriate movie to the whole plane, there was no way to turn it off,” one passenger shared on Reddit as quoted by news.com.au.
