Some SWISS employees have drawn the wrath of their employers. A video shows the trio posing on the wing of a Boeing 777-300ER for some photos.
The video - which has surfaced on social media - shows three employees opening an emergency door above the wing. Some poses are made and the employees walk back and forth on the wing. The video was shot in Buenos Aires shortly before the plane was due to start its return flight to Zurich.
All this to the great dissatisfaction of SWISS. "What seems fun in a video is dangerous," a spokesperson for the company told news site 20 minutes. "The wings of the Boeing 777 are about five meters high. A fall from that height onto a hard surface can have disastrous consequences. This behavior will not be tolerated," said Michael Pelzer. Contact has been made with the relevant crew members.
There would have been no passengers in the aircraft at the time of the photo session.
