Turkey has begun to impose a fine of 2603 Turkish pounds (about $ 67 USD) on travelers who are rushing to dismantle seat belts or leave their seats prematurely as soon as the plane landed, as part of its endeavor to ensure the safety of passengers and regulate the descent process.
The new regulation requires that passengers remain in their seats even after extinguishing the seat belt signal, and that no passenger from his place is not risen except when the role of his ranks comes out, in a way that guarantees a calm and organized down, and prevents rush or transgression cases that pose a threat to everyone’s safety.
Turkish airlines, headed by Turkish Airlines, the national carrier of the country, also obliges these procedures and continuous alerts to passengers through loudspeakers to adhere to staying in the seats until the direction is directed. In the event of non -compliance or failure to raise awareness, airlines may be subjected to official penalties from the Civil Aviation Authority.
The decision came as a result of periodic inspections and increasing complaints from passengers who noticed chaos while leaving the planes, as it became common for some to rush to break the belt as soon as the plane’s wheels in contact with the airport’s land, which confuses the crew and puts everyone at risk, especially in emergency situations.
The British newspaper “Telegraph” indicated that this new regulation may inspire other airlines by following a similar trend.
It is noteworthy that Turkish Airlines is one of the most prominent airlines in the world, and it runs flights to more than 130 countries, and competes with major international airlines in providing high -end services, which makes the issue of discipline and safety an integral part of its strategy.
