Qantas has apologised to passengers on a flight from Sydney to Japan after a sexually explicit film was played to the entire plane.

Passengers on the flight to Haneda were shown the start of Daddio, a 2023 film starring Dakota Johnson. The film is rated R for “language, sexual material and brief graphic nudity” in the US, and MA15+ for “strong coarse language and nudity” in Australia.
