€65 Fine for Standing Up Too Early on Turkish Flights

Turkey introduces a new rule for air passengers: a fine of €65 for premature standing up from seats. This rule, effective since May, has sparked debate among travelers and aviation professionals. Passengers are prohibited from unfastening their seatbelts or standing up before the signal is given. Airlines also face penalties for not enforcing the rule. "It's a matter of safety," explains an aviation expert, "ensuring passengers remain seated during critical phases of flight." While some view the fine as excessive, others support it for enhancing safety and order. The rule's impact on passenger behavior and airline operations remains to be seen. The incident highlights the importance of following safety regulations during air travel.
