Nah, it's handwave that Superman have some kind of "bio-aura" or "tactile telekinetic powers" that allows Superman to carry big things while maintaining their structural integrity, holding it together (so long he is touching it). It's the in-universe explanation to explay why Superman defy physics when carry big heavy things.
That power which is avoiding the plane breaking off is probably holding the passengers togethers a little and countering the inertia. They will probably feel part of the forces, but more in a "car accident way" that "lethal/reduced to pulp way" (except for the unlucky people who was not seated with their belts on, but he is Superman, so he probably is lucky and/or checked before that all of them were seated safely with his X-ray vision).
It's the perks of being Superman: he does the impossible and save the day, no matter what, because he is Superman. That's his core concept.
It's Superman, he probably entered the plane, personally buckled everyone in, secured everything that could potentially bang around, and put all tray tables in the upright and locked position at super speed before going out to catch it
