A 41-year-old man has been charged after engaging in indecent behaviour against a female passenger on a flight earlier this year.
The man is accused of touching a female passenger, placing his hand on the inner thigh on a number of occasions, and sticking his hands in her food on a flight on 4 February, 2025, according to the Australian Federal Police.
The man was arrested when the flight — which departed from Sydney — touched down at Gold Coast Airport that evening.
The man is expected to appear before Southport Magistrates Court on Monday.
He is charged with one count of an act of indecency, which carries a maximum penalty of seven years’ imprisonment.
AFP Detective Superintendent Scott Moller said all travellers had the right to feel safe and no one should be subjected to criminal behaviour during their journey.
“When travelling through an airport and on a plane, people are bound by Australian law and, where there is evidence someone has committed a criminal offence, the AFP will take action,” Moller stated in a statement on Monday.
“This incident should serve as a reminder to the community that authorities will not tolerate indecent behaviour at our airports or on aircraft.”
