Turkey to fine airline passengers who stand up before plane stopsThe Turkish civil aviation authority says it made the changes after receiving complaints from passengersAirline passengers to Turkey will be fined if they stand up before the seatbelt sign turns off after landing, regulators have 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 said fines are around US$70 (£50), although no amount is mentioned in the authority's guidance.
The authority warned that there was a "serious increase" in such incidents, with many complaints about passengers grabbing overhead baggage before their plane had been parked.
