Watch: Cabin crew dances on Boeing 777’s wing in 'life-threatening' stunt; airline responds

A video has been doing rounds on the Internet that shows cabin crew members of Swiss International Air Lines dancing and posing for photos on the wing of an aircraft.

The incident drew ire from the airline officials who said that the act could be dangerous.

In the clip, shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, a female flight attendant is seen dancing and posing on the wing of a Boeing 777 aircraft after walking to the emergency exit. Another male crew member then strikes some poses on the wing.

Two members of the ground staff are also seen clicking pictures on the tarmac with the aircraft’s massive engine in the background.

According to an international media outlet, the video was recorded by a passenger waiting in the terminal in Buenos Aires, Argentina, earlier this month. The Boeing 777 was scheduled to take off for Zurich, Switzerland.

As the video was circulated on social media, the cabin crew’s acts were denounced by the airline who said in a statement that “this behaviour will not be tolerated,” according to the outlet's report.

“Safety is our top priority – this applies not only to our passengers but also to our employees,” said Swiss International Air Lines spokesman Michael Pelzer, reported another international media outlet.

“What looks like fun in the video is life-threatening. The wings of the Boeing 777 are about five metres (16.4 feet) high. Moreover, after landing, even in high temperatures, the wings may be covered with ice. A fall from that height onto the hard surface can be devastating,” Pelzer added.
