An airline has apologised after a mature-rated film was played to all passengers on a flight \u2013 including families with young children.<\/p>\n

The “inappropriate” screening happened on a Qantas flight<\/a><\/strong> from Sydney to Tokyo after the plane’s in-flight entertainment system failed to work before take-off.<\/p>\n

After staff were unable to fix the fault, the plane took off after a delay of more than an hour \u2013 with the crew deciding to show the same film to everyone instead.<\/p>\n

However, to the horror of some passengers on board the nine-and-a-half-hour flight, the sexually explicit drama Daddio then began to play.<\/p>\n

To make matters worse, travellers reported they were effectively forced to watch because they were unable to turn off, pause or even dim their individual screens.<\/p>\n

One of those on board wrote on the website Reddit: “The movie they played was extremely inappropriate. It featured graphic nudity and a lot of sexting \u2013 the kind where you could literally read the texts on screen without needing headphones.<\/p>\n

“It took almost an hour of this before they switched to a more kid-friendly movie, but it was super uncomfortable for everyone, especially with families and kids onboard.”<\/p>\n

They added: “How is this acceptable for a major airline?”<\/p>\n

The film, which was released last year, stars Sean Penn<\/a><\/strong> and Dakota Johnson<\/a><\/strong>, and tells the story of a woman and a taxi driver who discuss sex and relationships.<\/p>\n

Daddio is rated 18 in the UK for its language, sexual material and nudity, “Restricted” (R) in the US, and MA15+ for “strong coarse language and nudity” in Australia.<\/p>\n

Following Saturday’s flight, Qantas said in a statement to Sky’s US partner NBC News: “The movie was clearly not suitable to play for the whole flight and we sincerely apologise to customers for this experience.<\/p>\n

“All screens were changed to a family-friendly movie for the rest of the flight, which is our standard practice for the rare cases where individual movie selection isn’t possible.”<\/p>\n

A spokesperson added: “We are reviewing how the movie was selected.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
