Turkey's civil aviation authority has implemented new regulations imposing fines on airline passengers who unbuckle their seatbelts prematurely. This means passengers who release their seatbelts before the aircraft has come to a complete stop could face financial penalties. The rule aims to enhance safety during the taxiing phase after landing.
Authorities emphasize the importance of remaining seated with seatbelts fastened until the 'fasten seatbelt' sign is switched off and the plane reaches its designated parking area. This precaution helps prevent potential injuries from sudden stops or unexpected movements during taxiing. The new regulations are now in effect for all flights operating within Turkey.
