A Fiji native has appeared in court accused of indecently exposing himself to two female passengers seated in his row during a flight.

Ulaiasi Uto Viladai, 30, is accused of exposing himself on a Jetstar flight from Melbourne to Brisbane on the morning of June 1.

The women, who were unfamiliar with Viladai, alerted the flight staff and were subsequently relocated to new seats.

Close observation by the cabin crew followed for the duration of the flight, after which he was taken off the aircraft by law enforcement officers.

Other passengers and crew were also spoken to as part of the investigation.

Viladai was charged with one count of indecent exposure, which has a maximum penalty of one year in prison.

Court documents reveal Viladai is residing in Australia on a work visa.

He faced Brisbane Magistrates Court today, where the matter was adjourned until August 15.

Viladai left court quickly after his appearance.

AFP Detective Superintendent Anthony Conway earlier criticised the “offensive behaviour” where passengers were confined in a small space.

“Indecent conduct on a plane will not be tolerated,” he said.

“The AFP will take action against individuals who engage in this kind of criminal behaviour.”
