This country is fining impatient airplane passengers who stand up too early
Briefly

Turkey has introduced new regulations regarding boarding protocol for passengers on planes. Under the directive from the Turkish Directorate General of Civil Aviation, passengers are now prohibited from leaving their seats or crowding the aisle until their row is called. Violators could face fines of about 2,603 Turkish lira ($67). This measure aims to enhance safety, as improper disembarking can delay the process and present risks, violating Federal Aviation Administration regulations. Etiquette experts recommend waiting for the proper disembarkation order to ensure a smoother exit for all passengers.
In Turkey, passengers who exit their seat before the plane is fully stopped or crowd the aisle will face fines under new regulations.
Director General Kemal Yüksek emphasized the importance of respecting disembarkation priority to avoid risks to passenger safety and satisfaction.
The directive states that standing or crowding before one’s row is a safety issue that could delay the deplaning process, contradicting FAA regulations.
Etiquette experts advise waiting for the rows ahead to exit before moving into the aisle, except to allow for the next passenger.
