Airport Employee Puts Airline Out of Business for Trying to Take 'Perfect Selfie'

Due to his bid to take the ultimate selfie, an airport employee has caused a plane to be put out of service.

 

The incident took place on an American Airlines aircraft that was parked overnight for service at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS).

 

The selfie-snapper whose identity has not been released, was a contractor for Swissport, an international airline service company. He climbed onto the wing of the parked Boeing 737 for the photo-moment.

 

According to WBZ-TV, out of precaution, the American decided to pull the aircraft from service for further inspection following the incident, as the act of jumping on the wing could have potentially damaged it. The airline experienced no delays as a result of the shenanigans.

 

The contractor who had all the appropriate credentials to be on the tarmac when the incident took place, was not considered to be trespassing.

 

A representative for the Massachusetts State Police told disclosed that the guilty photographer was not arrested and would not face any charges. It is unclear if the contractor will face any repercussions from employer Swissport for the incident.
