A sex video recorded on a passenger plane has reportedly been leaked by the plane’s crew who filmed the mile-high romp, sparking an investigation into privacy violations.
The footage shows a couple having oral sex in the galley of a Swiss Air plane. The video was captured during the flight by cockpit-controlled security cameras.
The extraordinary scenes were filmed in November during the 12-hour Swiss Air flight 181 from the Thai capital Bangkok to Zurich.
The pair were apparently filmed by members of the crew after sneaking into the plane’s kitchen. Still images from the video show a woman on her knees in front of a man.
The raunchy clip has since surfaced on social media, with the caption: ‘One more sip of champagne and then put my cock back in your mouth.’
The footage has sparked a Swiss Air investigation into “violations of privacy,” with airline officials vowing to identify and discipline the staff responsible for recording the video without the couple’s consent and posting it on social media.
Swiss Air media spokeswoman Meike Fuhlrott said: “The filming of people without their clear consent, as well as the transmission of these recordings, is contrary to our guidelines and values and is contrary to applicable data protection regulations.”
When the crew saw the session on camera, she said, they should have “intervened immediately” and not filmed it.

Ms Fuhlrott added: “Our crews are known for their professionalism. We trust the competence of our crews and are convinced of their capabilities.’
But the airline says both the images and the sarcastic commentary were “disrespectful” to passengers.
Spokeswoman Ms Fuhlrott said: ‘We want to know exactly what happened and how these recordings came out.
‘The comments are disrespectful and do not in any way reflect the professional standards, values and behavior that we expect from our employees.
“Our passengers’ trust and respectful interactions are our top priorities.”
The cameras were part of crew safety measures installed after the September 11 hijackings. They must monitor any attempts to break into the cockpit and are not allowed to spy on passengers, the airline said.
The spokeswoman said: ‘The cameras are used for access control and are intended to ensure safety in the cockpit.

‘Only what happens right outside the door is filmed; the cameras are not intended for anything else and do not record continuously.
‘Shielding of the monitor by the flight crew is only permitted in exceptional cases, for example to record safety-related incidents.’
But the airline also reprimanded the passengers in the video, who have not been identified.
They said: ‘Such actions are unacceptable. The behavior of our passengers is generally respectful and appropriate.”
