Influencer’s Child Swings from Plane Ceiling, Sparks Debate

A viral video shared by Brazilian influencer Buzeira has sparked a mix of amusement and concern after it showed his young daughter swinging from the ceiling of a Copa Airlines 737 MAX business class cabin.
The clip, which rapidly gained traction across social media platforms, shows the child holding onto a ceiling panel and swinging back and forth, much like a playground swing.
While many viewers found the scene entertaining and humorous, others were quick to raise concerns about the safety implications of such behavior, especially in a business class cabin.
The incident has brought to light debates around cabin etiquette, with some questioning the appropriateness of allowing such activities in a confined, high-altitude environment.
The video, which shows the influencer laughing and encouraging his daughter’s playful moment, highlights a growing trend of influencers sharing unique, and sometimes controversial, travel experiences.
However, this moment, intended to be lighthearted, has led to discussions about passenger behavior, the safety of children in flight, and whether or not such actions should be allowed, especially in premium cabins.
Copa Airlines has yet to publicly comment on the incident, but the video’s popularity has certainly sparked conversations about the boundaries of acceptable conduct in flight.
While it is common to see families with children aboard flights, incidents like these challenge the fine line between fun and safety, raising important questions for both airlines and passengers about appropriate in-flight behavior.
