Passengers on flights to Turkey may get a fine if they unbuckle their seat belts and stand up before the plane stops moving. These are new rules from Turkey’s civil aviation authority, which started in June. Airlines must now change their in-flight messages as well. The messages must tell people to stay in their seats with seat belts on until the plane reaches the gate. They must also say that any violation will be reported. Passengers should also wait for the people in front of them to leave first.
Turkey is a popular travel destination with millions of tourists every year. According to Turkish news, people who break the rules may be eligible to pay a fine of up to $70 (about ¥10,100). The civil aviation authority said there were many complaints and safety problems during flights. Some people stand up before the plane stops. This behavior is dangerous and not polite to other passengers.
Many countries have similar rules to stop bad behavior on planes, but Turkey’s fine after landing is unusual. Aviation experts say listening to in-flight instructions is important because it helps keep everyone safe and prevents unnecessary delays.
