Australian influencer Hugh Lovett has been banned from flying with Jetstar and Qantas after inflating an emergency life jacket during a pre-flight safety demonstration. The incident occurred on Jetstar flight JQ768 from Sydney to Adelaide on Friday, 16 October, when Lovett pulled the inflation cord despite being told not to do so.
The stunt was filmed for social media and later circulated online, drawing the attention of authorities. Police met the aircraft after it landed in Adelaide, and the Qantas Group subsequently imposed a no-fly restriction on Lovett.
