By Savannah Smith | 09-10-2018
An Australia-UK flight was forced to turn around and return to Perth after a “hyper-aggressive” passenger made a huge disruption described as having wide-ranging effects and incurring significant expenses.
The Qantas flight QF9 to Heathrow was near the 1,000 miles mark into its 9,000-mile journey with passengers already poised for long, overnight non-stop trip when a man in the economy cabin shattered the peace of the flight. The man estimated to be around 30 years old stood up and started shouting.

Passenger Clare Hudson described the man as “acting in an extremely aggressive manner.” She said she thinks it all started when the man locked himself in one of the restrooms for almost an hour long. After emerging from the toilet, Hudson said the man acted aggressively and looked set to attack one of the passengers.
