Every Second Counts During an Evacuation
“Passengers taking baggage during aircraft evacuations is not a new issue. But videos and reports shared across social and mainstream media continue to show that the risk remains real.
Despite clear crew instructions, some passengers still stop to collect bags, phones, or other personal items. In an evacuation, this can block aisles and exits, slow other passengers, damage evacuation slides and put lives at risk.
That is why IATA has launched Save a Life, Not a Bag, a passenger safety campaign.
