Turkish airline sharpens rules: fines for overzealous passengers!
The Turkish civil aviation authority recently took measures to improve the security in air traffic. These new regulations apply not only to tourists, but also to local passengers. The first airline to implement these regulations is Turkish Airlines. The new provisions that came into force in early May 2025 aim to prevent accidents and injuries during the flight.
The regulations state that passengers must consider the stroke sign throughout the flight. Especially after landing, the passengers must strap up until the aircraft is completely stopped. Anyone who ignores this and snaps off too early or gets up in the corridor risks a fine, the exact amount of which is previously unknown, but according to reports could be around 60 euros.
safety concerns in focus
Background of these stricts are security concerns. In the case of abrupt braking or lifting luggage, injuries can occur if the passengers are not properly buckled up. Complaints and controls have shown that many passengers ignore the rules. The Turkish civil aviation authority wants to counteract this trend through stricter measures.
The airlines are now obliged to clearly emphasize the straps during and after landing and to inform the passengers that violations can be punished with sanctions. Turkish Airlines has already passed on the relevant information to your flight attendant so that they can draw the necessary attention for the new regulation for the passengers.
public opinion
A survey of over 19,000 users shows that 78 percent of the respondents find the measures justified, while 16 percent consider them exaggerated. Six percent of the participants are undecided. Despite the skepticism of some passengers, the authorities have made it clear that compliance with these regulations is crucial for the safety of flight operations. Anyone who violates the regulations as a "passenger traveling passenger" can be reported by the crew, which can lead to further legal consequences.
In view of the increasing number of complaints and the impending fines, the authorities hope that the new regulation contributes to a safer travel experience and the passengers are aware of how important it is to stick to the safety instructions throughout the flight.Further information on the new regulations are in the articles of n-tv.de to be found.
