Turkey to fine airline passengers who stand up before plane stops

Airline passengers flying to Turkey will be fined if they stand up before the seatbelt sign turns off after landing, regulators said.

The Turkish Civil Aviation Authority said it imposed the order after receiving complaints from passengers. The rules came into effect earlier this month.

Turkish media reports say the fines will be around $70 (£50), although no amount is mentioned in the authority's guidelines.

The authority warned that there was a "serious increase" in such incidents, with many complaints about passengers grabbing luggage above their heads before the plane was parked.

Turkey is a destination for tens of millions of tourists every year.

The aviation authority said commercial airlines must now issue an in-flight notice and report those who do not comply with the orders.

Passengers should be told to keep their seat belts fastened and not to stand or open overhead lockers until the seat belt sign has turned off.

"Those who do not follow these rules should be reported to the authority," it said./ CNA
