As we know, we all did: getting up as soon as the plane landed is relieving after hours sitting in its seat. But often passengers get up too early. In this country, airlines take financial sanctions against bad behavior …
In a plane, nothing is left to chance. Each flight follows strict rules, for safety as well as for comfort. The devices must comply with precise trajectories. Navigating staff also have their instructions, such as not wear bulky jewelry in the event of evacuation. And the passengers are not to be outdone: belt attached in flight, extinguished telephone, sit in landing. So many instructions that it is better to respect … under penalty of sanctions!
These punitive measures can sometimes go far beyond a simple reminder to order. Indeed, certain offenses lead to financial fines which can be very heavy. For example, as the newspaper reported The dispatchthe Ryanair company recently demanded 15,350 euros in damages to a disgust passenger, whose behavior forced a velve of plane between Dublin and Lanzarote. This affair illustrates how much non-compliance with the rules can be expensive, both to passengers and to airlines.
The question of respecting instructions on board recently took a stricter turn in another country, as the Washington Post. From now on, passengers who leave their headquarters before the plane is completely arrested, or who pile up in the aisle before their row is called, risk fines. These offenses also relate to detaching your belt too early, to open up the upper compartments during rolling, or to get up prematurely while other passengers have not yet landed.
It is in Türkiye that you risk a fine if you are not able to wait wisely that you are told that you can disembark from the device. And the country is very popular with travelers since 62 million visitors were recorded last year.
The boss of the Directorate General of Turkish Civil Aviation, Kemal Yüksek, asked the cabin staff to alert and sanction passengers who do not respect the landing priority. These may be reported to the competent authorities and receive a fine, the amount of which could amount to around 2,603 Turkish pounds, the equivalent of 70 euros. A strict measure which aims to improve safety and fluidity on board, but which may surprise travelers that are not used to this type of sanctions.
