Jetstar crew member warns passengers to dispose of drugs before landing in Sydney

Updated

Jetstar has confirmed a crew member warned passengers returning from the Splendour In The Grass music festival about drug-detection dogs waiting at Sydney airport.

News Limited has reported passengers were advised to flush away anything they should not have, because sniffer dogs and quarantine officers would be waiting in the domestic terminal.

It is reported the announcement caused a rush for the toilets.

Some of those on board were returning home from the music festival at Byron Bay.

In a statement, the airline has apologised to passengers and says the issue is being addressed with the cabin crew member concerned.
