Qantas flight cancelled after passenger outburst
Passengers were still on the ground in Perth when Qantas crew called federal police onto their Melbourne-bound service. Footage in 7NEWS Australia's report shows a man yelling as he is escorted down the aircraft's aisle.
The report says the disruption led to the cancellation of QF744 and its returning service. That is the wider consequence behind the brief cabin footage: the cancellation affected not only those waiting to leave Perth, but travellers due to make the journey back.
"Qantas flight cancelled after passenger outburst" drew roughly 100,000 views in its first day, more than eleven times the usual start for a 7NEWS Australia Short. The clip compresses the incident into less than half a minute, using a route map to show the cross-country services affected.
The report ends without an explanation for what prompted the passenger's outburst.
Australia's flag carrier airline, operating domestic and international services from hubs including Perth and Melbourne.
