Turkey to Fine Impatient Plane Passengers Up to 60 Euros

Turkey Imposes Fines on Impatient Airplane Passengers Impatient passengers on Turkish Airlines flights now face fines for violating safety regulations. Turkish aviation authorities have implemented a new rule fining passengers who unfasten their seatbelts or stand up before the plane comes to a complete stop. This measure aims to improve safety during the critical taxiing phase when the aircraft is most vulnerable to accidents. The fines amount to approximately 60 euros. "This new rule is crucial for passenger safety," said a spokesperson for the Turkish aviation authority. "During taxiing, the plane is more susceptible to sudden movements that could cause injuries. We want to ensure everyone remains seated with their seatbelts fastened until the plane is completely stationary." Videos circulating on social media show passengers ignoring these safety protocols. The new rule, therefore, seeks to address this issue and promote a safer travel experience. The fines are a clear deterrent to those who prioritize convenience over safety.
