After the video went viral, SWISS Airlines addressed the incident. The Sun quotes the airline, saying, "What looks like fun in the video is life-threatening." It is to be noted that the wing of the aircraft holds multiple essential elements like the engine, flaps, and others. Hence, stepping on the wing can damage the aircraft and cause a severe accident. Furthermore, some areas have labels warning not to step on it.

The airline's spokesperson adds, "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." They further added, "This behavior will not be tolerated. The behaviour of the employees in the video neither corresponds to our security requirements nor does it reflect the high level of professionalism of our employees."

Besides drawing the heat from the airline, the cabin crew was criticized by social media users as well. People slammed the crew members for their "unprofessional" behaviour with the aircraft.
