Vision captured from the cabin showed a man in a heated exchange with other travellers in the row behind him before another man in a cap stands up and moves in his direction.

Passengers and cabin crew moved quickly to intervene, before the man is returned to his seat.

Jetstar has launched an investigation into the onboard incident and says it has a zero-tolerance policy for disruptive or abusive behaviour on flights.

It is not the first time there has been drama on the route.

In March, 2024 a pilot, two hours into the journey, turned the aircraft back to Melbourne when a passenger became disruptive.
