Qantas Passenger Removed After Allegedly Biting Flight Attendant on Melbourne-Dallas Flight

Passenger banned from travelling on all Qantas Group flights

Fellow passengers and crew members rushed to help the staff member who was allegedly attacked by the man during the 18-hour QF21 flight.

The brazen brawl forced the long-haul Qantas flight to divert and touch down on the rainforest island of Tahiti.

The flight from Melbourne was headed to Dallas on Friday when it was forced to make a stop-off in Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia, due to the disruptive passenger.
