The Australian Federal Police said two 20-year-old men from Sheldon and Wellington Point and a 42-year-old East Brisbane man allegedly became intoxicated during the flight and were asked to move out of their exit row seats, as the crew was concerned they would not be able to assist in an emergency.Police allege the men proceeded to drink duty-free alcohol they'd purchased earlier and became increasingly disruptive, with one passenger allegedly vaping in their seat.

"The aircraft captain then made the decision to divert the flight to Darwin, over concerns the group's behaviour may escalate further," the AFP said in a statement. "AFP officers entered the cabin and escorted the three males from the flight without incident at around 4pm on Friday afternoon. "The aircraft then continued its journey to Denpasar following the diversion to Darwin to offload the passengers."
