Commercial use of a photo or video with an identifiable person requires permission (model release forms and stuff). I'm sure that airlines would argue that any data they use for commercial purposes are anonymous (despite you know aving video and name/seat/camera correspondence).

It's my understanding that a release form is typically only used if the video is going to be made available publicly, used in marketing material, etc.

If their commercial purpose was internal to the company then a release wouldn't be required.

I'm an American. This likely isn't true in other countries with more stringent privacy laws.
