A mobile phone has reportedly caught alight during a Melbourne-bound Qantas flight after becoming crushed in a seat.

A business class passenger dropped their device on the flight from Los Angeles on Wednesday morning and it got stuck in a seat.

When the passenger tried to retrieve it, it got crushed and passengers later reported a burnt rubber smell, the Herald Sun said.

Qantas said cabin crew contained the situation and the captain decided to continue onto Melbourne.
