Plane passengers who unbuckle seat belts and stand up before it is time to disembark face £50 fines

Impatient passengers who race to get off the plane could be looking at fines of £50 for their speedy exit.

Turkish authorities have introduced the new measure to try and control travellers who scramble to leave once a plane lands.

The new ban will tackle people who take off a seat belt early and standing up before the plane has taxied to the terminal.

The proposal would see passengers remain seated even after the seat belt sign has been switched off as the Turkish civil aviation authority hopes people will only stand when it is their row's turn to disembark.

'According to the regulation, airlines are obliged to remind passengers to fasten their seat belts during and after landing until they reach the parking position and to explicitly point out that any infringement will be reported to the aviation authority and a fine will be imposed,' the German DPA news agency said.

Turkish Airlines is the country's leading airline provider, flying to more than 130 countries.

It rivals Qatar Airways and Emirates, with other regional airlines potentially taking up the new rule also, it was reported in The Telegraph.

Travellers spoke about the reasons why they stand up early, with one explaining that after a long haul flight 'by the time the plane touches down I can't wait to stand up and stretch my legs a little'.

Another Redditor said: 'I stand, because I have been seated for hours. I do not cut people, and I have no delusion of getting anywhere faster.'

One user replied: 'Exactly, there ain’t no problem standing up. Problem starts when people rush up to exit when it ain’t their turns and they are not told to hurry for transit.'

The ban is not the only unusual change proposed by airlines recently.

According to Instagram account @entrepreneurshipquote, which has 2.8 million followers, bike-style padded seats – which allow passengers to lean at an angle without completely sitting down – could be introduced as early as 2026.

These seats, which are being introduced by manufacturer Aviointeriors, will increase passenger capacity by 20 per cent.

However, Avionteriors declined to comment when approached by MailOnline on Wednesday, and no airlines have yet to officially confirm they have plans to introduce the money-saving venture.

The upright seating is called Skyrider 2.0 and was initially unveiled at the Aircraft Interiors Expo 2018 in Hamburg.

The horse saddle-style seating is an improved version of a concept it tried – and failed – to launch in 2010.

Skyrider 2.0 has more padding than the previous version and firmer mountings, with poles connecting each row to the ceiling and floor, instead of the frame just being fitted to a rail.

It said in a statement in 2018: ‘The Skyrider 2.0 is an innovative seat. It allows an ultra-high density in the aircraft cabin.

'Skyrider 2.0 opens the travelling experience to a wider passenger market, creating also a useful space for the introduction of mixed classes boarded on the same aircraft.

‘Its main feature is the original bottom that ensures an increased upright passenger positon allowing installation of the seat at a reduced pitch, while maintaining an adequate comfort.

‘The design of this seat enables [carriers] to increase the passenger number by 20 per cent allowing increasing profits for airline companies.’

At the time, the company added that Skyrider 2.0 weighs 50 per cent less than standard economy seats and has a reduced number of components for ‘minimum maintenance costs’.

Its claim is that this seating represents ‘the new frontier of low-cost tickets and passenger experience’.

Ryanair chief Michael O’Leary has been vocal about his desire to use the ‘standing berths’.

In 2012, he said he wanted his Boeing's 737 and 800 fitted with 10 rows of them and 15 rows of traditional seats.

At the time, Michael suggested the standing tickets may potentially cost as little as £1 to £5.
