Turkey's civil aviation authority has implemented a new rule fining airline passengers who stand up before the seatbelt sign is switched off post-landing. This follows numerous passenger complaints about unsafe practices like retrieving luggage before the plane is stationary. Fines are reportedly around US$70, though the official guidance doesn't specify an amount. The rule, effective this month, aims to address a reported surge in such incidents.
