Did you know

• The movie features several former Navy SEALs as stunt performers and consultants, because the director Jean-François Richet wanted to make the action scenes as realistic and authentic as possible. He hired Remi Adeleke and Pete Scobell, who are both former Navy SEALs and have experience in acting and stunt work, to help train the actors and coordinate the stunts. They also appear in the movie as minor characters or extras.

• The studio wanted a different title for the movie, but Gerard Butler insisted on keeping the title simple and went with "Plane."

• The head injury that Captain Torrance (Gerard Butler) sustained during the scene when he's checking on the passengers was in fact a real wound that the actor suffered when he fell against the overhead compartment during the "turbulence."
