New flight rules in Turkey: strict stroke mandatory now!

Türkei - The Turkish Directorate General for Civil Aviation (SHGM) has introduced new safety rules for air travelers that apply immediately. These regulations particularly affect and open the luggage compartments after landing early. Passengers who free themselves from their seat or open the luggage compartment are classified as "passengers who are contrary to the fault". The aim of these measures is to prevent accidents when getting out that can be caused by falling luggage or unexpected movements of the aircraft.

The new requirements have already been implemented by Turkish Airlines. The penalties for violations of these regulations are currently not yet known. However, it is expected that cabin personnel are pronounced in the event of violations and makes it clear through announcements that getting up is only allowed after the final parking position has been reached. Passengers are asked to wait until their row instead of just standing up and storming.

increase security measures

The initiative for tightening these rules comes at a time when security measures in aviation are increasingly becoming the focus worldwide. The responsibility for compliance with the rules is not only the passengers, but also with the cabin staff, which has been trained to strictly enforce the new requirements.

Rigorous compliance with these regulations could possibly also have long -term influence on accident statistics in civil aviation. Passengers are asked to adhere to the instructions of the cabin staff to ensure their own security and that of the other travelers.
