Two business class passengers were escorted off a flight by police after landing in Rosario over allegations they engaged in an in-flight s*x act that shocked fellow travellers. The incident reportedly took place aboard a Copa Airlines flight arriving from Panama in the early hours of Sunday.
According to local reports, the pair, identified only as Mauricio C and Sandra O, were accused of behaving intimately in their business class seats instead of heading to the aircraft restroom. Passengers allegedly complained after witnessing the couple “making out” openly during the journey.

An air stewardess reportedly informed the pilot after a female passenger travelling with her niece raised concerns about the pair’s behaviour. Airport police later boarded the aircraft after it landed at Rosario International Airport and detained the two passengers for questioning.

Several travellers were reportedly forced to remain seated for over an hour while authorities handled the situation. Argentine radio presenter Juan Juanco, who was also on the flight, posted on X that airport security officers entered the plane shortly after arrival, delaying passengers from disembarking.
Unconfirmed local reports claimed the pair were partially undressed when confronted, though investigators are reportedly treating the matter as a case of “public obscenity.” Officials have yet to release a formal statement regarding possible charges.
The bizarre incident has gone viral online, reviving memories of previous “mile-high club” controversies, including a 2023 case involving an easyJet flight to Ibiza where a couple were caught during an alleged s*x act inside the plane’s toilet. Videos from that incident spread rapidly across social media platforms.
