Even then, some travelers still unbuckle and stand up before the seatbelt sign is off, inconveniencing the crew who must repeat their safety announcements. To address the issue, commercial airlines landing in Türkiye must document and report rule breakers to the Turkish Directorate of Civil Aviation, which may issue a fine up to $70.
