Chu Chu, the oxygen would add to the atmospheric volume, but it's release would also reduce the gravitational mass of the Earth, which would reduce atmospheric pressure.

I don't know what the net effect would be, but since you have raised it, the same would apply to the aircraft which is made from material sourced from the Earth.
