Turkey Will Fine Airline Passengers Who Unbuckle Before the Plane Stops
- Turkey's civil aviation authority implemented new regulations earlier this month to fine airline passengers who unbuckle seat belts before the plane fully stops.
- The rules followed passenger complaints and flight inspections that showed rising safety violations during taxiing after landing.
- The regulations ban early unbuckling, accessing overhead compartments, and occupying aisles before complete stops, aiming to improve passenger safety and orderly disembarkation.
- Airlines must issue announcements warning passengers to remain seated and stating violations will be documented; fines reportedly may reach up to $70, though the circular does not specify amounts.
- There have been no immediate confirmations of fine enforcement, but the rules reflect Turkey’s efforts to manage safety amid millions of tourists arriving annually.
