Turkey to Fine Passengers $93 for Standing Up Too Early on Planes

Turkey introduces a $93 fine for passengers who stand up before planes fully stop. This new rule, implemented by the Turkish Civil Aviation Authority, aims to streamline the disembarkation process and improve efficiency at airports. The penalty applies to passengers who unbuckle their seatbelts and stand up before the cabin crew gives the go-ahead. "The hope is that passengers will be incentivized to wait their turn," explains a 10 News First Australia report. While some passengers might see this as inconvenient, others might find it a fair measure to maintain order and safety during disembarkation. The new rule has sparked discussions on social media, with some praising its potential to reduce congestion and improve the overall passenger experience, while others express concern about its enforcement. The Turkish Civil Aviation Authority has not yet commented on the potential challenges in enforcing this new rule.
