Airline passengers in Turkey who unbuckle their seatbelts, access overhead compartments, or occupy the aisle before their plane has fully stopped now face fines under new regulations.

The updated rules issued by the country’s civil aviation authority are aimed at enhancing safety and ensuring a more orderly disembarkation, and came into effect earlier this month.
