Does a video of a woman in a green shirt bashing a tray table against the airplane seat of the man in front of her show a real incident? No, that's not true: The video clip of the man getting annoyed and eventually moving to the seat behind the woman and doing the same to her to teach her a lesson was a skit with actors. The Facebook page where it was posted features dozens of other, similar videos often using the studio sets of a company called Network Media.
Before it got copied to other social media networks, the video appeared as Facebook reel (archived here) published on a Facebook page named "Tommy Wind", with a title that read:
Guy on plane gets annoyed

The interior of the airplane looks like one of the sets from Network Media, a company that rents out film sets (archived here) to "content producers" who publish similar scripted scenes:

The design and layout of the ceiling lights and windows in the fake airplane shown in the video match up exactly with a set labelled "Airplane" on the website of Network Media, as shown below, which was also used by a different influencer for a skit about an FBI agent on a plane:

The Facebook page that posted the skit had a description that said "Comedian · Reel creator · Digital creator" and it featured several other sketches and skits (archived here) set in sets from Network Media such as the grocery story or the diner with the prominent red line on the wall, even including some other "airplane" incidents:
