New Rule: Stand Up Too Soon on Turkish Flights, Get a €60 Fine

ISTANBUL, June 4, 2025 – A new regulation in Turkish airports is causing a stir among passengers. Starting now, anyone who unbuckles their seatbelt and stands up before the plane comes to a complete stop after landing will be fined sixty euros. This is according to a recent video by flight attendant Avec moi…en Air Exxion, who explains the new rule. "This bad habit of passengers is contrary to air safety rules," she states in the video. The rule applies to all Turkish airports, regardless of airline or class of travel. Airlines are legally obligated to announce this new regulation to passengers. The authorities hope the fine will deter impatient passengers and improve safety during disembarkation. The measure is intended to improve safety on the ground and prevent injuries caused by rushing down the aisle before the plane has fully stopped.
