From what it looks like, that is an airline staff using a duct tape to patch up an airplane. But contrary to popular belief, it is not duct tape, the Daily Mail reports. The silver sticky strip is believed to be speed tape, widely used in the aviation industry to carry out quick repairs on flights so as to avoid delays.
EasyJet was quick to respond to the concerned passenger on Twitter, posting: "Hi Adam, Please be reassured that the duct tape is in place as a result of some cosmetic work that is required to the aircraft paintwork. It is nothing structural and in no way compromises the safety of the aircraft."
He took it in good humour, replying: "Phew because we've taken off and I forgot to pack my parachute lol"
