QANTAS says a man has been arrested after causing a disturbance on a flight from Perth to Brisbane.

A spokeswoman for the airline said the man repeatedly failed to follow crew instructions on the overnight flight, prompting the pilot to return QF652 to Perth about one hour into the flight.

The man was arrested by Australian Federal Police on arrival and the flight was delayed by about three hours, arriving in Brisbane at 8:30am on Wednesday.
