The actual height of the aircraft at the time the act takes place is not relevant; sexual activity in a plane flying 10 feet off the ground would still qualify.

If British law applied, for example, it may constitute sex in a lavatory to which the public has access, contrary to Sexual Offences Act 2003 s.71, with a maximum 6-month term of imprisonment.

Also, for international flights, the law could vary depending on departure and destination cities and the nation of the carrier airline,[21] as well as the country of registration of the aircraft, and possibly the citizenship of the people involved.

Starting in 2014, a North Las Vegas Airport-based charter company called Love Cloud began operating flights specifically for the purpose using a pair of Cessna 414 aircraft.
