Swiss International Air Lines cabin crew have received a telling off after a video emerged of them dancing and posing for photos on the wing of a Boeing 777.
The footage, which was shared on Instagram, was recently captured in Buenos Aires, Swiss news website 20 Minuten reported.
One flight attendant can be seen standing on the wing on one foot, with her arms raised in the air. She then sashays along the wing, trying different poses, before she is joined by a male flight attendant who emerges from the emergency exit.
A male attendant was then seen doing muscle-manlike bodybuilding poses next to the woman, while another male crew member also pops out for an apparent photo op.
Two members of the ground crew on the tarmac are also shown posing for a picture in front of the plane’s engine.
In a statement, the airline said the behaviour “would not be tolerated” and was in breach of safety and security requirements. Crew members were only permitted to step onto the wings in an emergency, Swiss spokesman Michael Pelzer said.
The wings of the Boeing 777 are about five meters [16.4 feet] high. A fall from that height onto the hard surface can be devastating.
