"Taser, Taser, Taser", Australian Federal Police can be heard shouting at a man who refuses to leave a plane that was forced to return to Perth on Tuesday night because of his disruptive behaviour.

Qantas put out a statement on Wednesday morning claiming flight QF652 set for Brisbane returned to Perth about an hour into the trip because a seemingly drunk man repeatedly failed to follow crew instructions.

The passenger was removed from the plane in Perth and met by waiting Australian Federal Police.

A 38-year-old Queensland man appeared at Perth's Magistrates Court on Wednesday and is facing charges relating to assaulting aircrew and obstructing police.
