*✈️ Turkey Introduces Fines for In-Flight Order*
Turkey's General Directorate of Civil Aviation (SHGM) is implementing fines for passengers who stand up after the plane lands without crew permission.
A new circular has been approved, outlining administrative penalties for such violations. After the "farewell announcement," the crew must specifically remind passengers to remain seated until the seatbelt sign is turned off.
According to reports, Turkish Airlines has already informed its flight attendants about these changes. Passengers who stand up before the plane has fully stopped, open overhead bins, or move around the cabin against crew instructions will be considered "rule violators."
Administrative sanctions may be applied to these passengers.
