Airline crew members are under investigation after a video of two passengers on a Swiss International Air Lines flight emerged on social media.

The incident took place last Friday on a flight from Bangkok and Zurich, an airline spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said two passengers were in the front galley of the Boeing 777 near the flight deck, where a camera is located that lets pilots carry out checks before opening the cockpit door.
From a screen on the flight deck, the couple were “observed engaging in intimate acts” while a crew member recorded them on a phone.
Footage of the couple then began circulating on WhatsApp and was obtained by the Swiss newspaper 20 Minuten, which first reported the story.

The airline said it expected the crew to intervene immediately and found it “intolerable” that the passengers were filmed and commented on instead. Disciplinary action against the crew members was being considered.
