Qantas Airways recently faced backlash after screening the controversial movie “Daddio” on a flight from Sydney to Haneda, Tokyo. The R-rated film, which includes explicit language and nudity, played due to a technical glitch that prevented passengers from choosing or turning off the movie. Passengers, including families with children, were upset, sparking widespread complaints.
The issue began when the in-flight entertainment system broke down. It removed the option for passengers to select movies. In response, the crew picked “Daddio,” a film starring Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn. Some passengers had requested this movie, but it wasn’t suitable for families with children.
The inability to stop, dim, or pause the movie frustrated many onboard. The movie played for over an hour, leaving families and children exposed to explicit material. Eventually, the airline responded by switching to a children’s movie after receiving many complaints.
Qantas quickly apologized and promised to improve the process of selecting in-flight entertainment. They’re reviewing their protocols to prevent this from happening again. The incident has sparked online discussions about how technical failures can disrupt flight experiences.
Qantas is committed to managing its entertainment system better in the future, ensuring passenger comfort. This highlights the importance of always having family-friendly options available during flights.
