She opened an emergency exit on the Boeing 737-86N and climbed onto the wing “to get some air”, say reports.
The mother-of-two was said to be “too hot” after landing on a flight from Turkish resort city Antalya.
Videos show her casually strolling along the wing before climbing back inside the cabin to rejoin her family.
A returning holidaymaker told reporters: “The aircraft landed and almost all the passengers got off.
“She walked almost all the way from the tail to the emergency exit row, opened the door and went out.
“By that time her two children were outside the plane and standing right next to me.
“They were surprised, saying, 'that's our mum!'”
The pilot called for an ambulance, police and border guards.
The woman - who had clambered back safely into the Boeing's interior - told cops she was too hot, it was reported.

Tests showed she was neither drunk, nor on drugs.
She had been travelling with her husband and their two kids for a family holiday before the start of the new school term.
Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) confirmed the bizarre incident, saying the mum was now "blacklisted".
It added: "A passenger of flight PS6212 Antalya-Kyiv illegally opened the emergency exit of the plane after it stopped near gate 11 of terminal D and went on to its wing.
"The passenger was flying on a charter vacation with her husband and children.
"The chief pilot immediately summoned the aviation security, border service, police and medical centre of Boryspil Airport.
"The passenger was blacklisted for gross violation of aviation safety rules and behaviour on board."
The UIA confirmed that police and doctors failed to get "an adequate response" for the breach.
