With the arrival of summer and the increase of airplane trips, new rules arise that aim to improve safety and coexistence between passengers. Among frequent flight behaviors, some not only bother but can now result in sanctions. It is essential to understand what is at stake in these new measures, taken by this country.
New fine for getting up before the hour
A new regulation applied in Türkiye has penalized passengers who get up from the seat before the seat belt signal was turned off. Infringement can cost an immediate fine of 53 pounds, approximately € 62.
This measure came after a significant increase in complaints related to this behavior, considered dangerous during the process of landing and traveling the plane on the track, according to Daily Express.
The country’s civil aviation authority justified the decision as a way of preventing accidents, as the plane can still lock sharply during rolling. Remaining in the opposite indication is, according to those responsible, a matter of basic security that many continue to ignore.
Safety above haste
Rising from the seat before the appropriate moment puts at risk not only who does it, but also who is in the immediate vicinity. In case of sudden braking, there is real danger of falling or collision with other passengers or objects.
The fine now implemented seeks to discourage this practice and reinforce the importance of respecting the established security procedures.
According to the same source, the measure was well received by many, who consider it essential that the rules are fulfilled more rigorously, especially in periods of greater movement, such as summer holidays.
Behaviors that generate conflict
Although the new fine only applies to specific behavior, other attitudes continue to cause discomfort during flights. A study by the Tiger.co.uk platform, quoted by the same source, revealed that reclining the seat without warning is the main source of annoyance between passengers.
There are also situations such as the use of high -sound electronic devices, the lack of preparation for safety controls and the blocking of the corridors before the passengers departure.
Another frequently criticized aspect is agglomeration near the boarding doors before the process starts. This behavior, besides creating confusion, does not accelerate access to the aircraft and contributes to increased stress at these times.
Consequences of disrespect for the rules
Small gestures such as not waiting for the order to get up or occupy the space of others may have a significant impact on the overall comfort of the flight.
In addition to generating delays in landing, they contribute to an onboard voltage environment, especially on full or time consuming flights.
Authorities stress that respecting these standards is a collective duty and a demonstration of civility that facilitates everyone’s travel experience.
Extra attention during the holidays
Summer is traditionally a time of greater flight flow at airports and airlines. For this reason, passengers are advised to review the basic rules of behavior on board before boarding, according to the same source.
Early preparation for safety control, the use of headphones when using electronic equipment and compliance with crew indications are some simple practices that can avoid conflict and delays.
Reinforce security
The introduction of financial penalties, as happens now in Türkiye, can be a warning that there is greater responsibility on the part of the travel, as referred to.
These measures aim to ensure the safety and well-being of all on board, promoting a culture of respect and attention to rules.
Right behaviors begin with small and conscious actions. Attention to light signs, respect for the space of others and collaboration with established procedures can make a difference in a quiet trip.
