Qantas Flight Diverted to Tahiti After Passenger Allegedly Bites Crew Member
A Qantas flight from Melbourne to Dallas was diverted to Tahiti after a passenger allegedly bit a crew member. The incident occurred on a Boeing 787-9 aircraft, which was on a long-haul journey of nearly 9,000 miles. The passenger, reportedly under the influence, became disruptive, leading to the diversion. Upon landing in Tahiti, the individual was handed over to local authorities and subsequently banned from flying with Qantas. The flight, which was delayed by the incident, eventually continued to Dallas, arriving a few hours behind schedule.
