Potentially thousands of Qantas customers have had their personal details made public via the airline’s app, with some frequent flyers able to view strangers’ account details and possibly make changes to other users’ bookings.

Qantas said late Wednesday its app had been fixed and was stable, after two separate periods that day “where some customers were shown the flight and booking details of other frequent flyers”.
