Security norms are fundamental in travel industry. We wouldn’t be able to single out a convenient area where they most have to be strict, but the latest case comes from a plane flying, which probably served also like a bus, from Turkey to Russia, where the passengers were asked to fly all the way through, on stand.

The six passengers said they were forced to stand on for five hour flight, and in cases of air turbulences they were asked to sit in the aisle, without the minimum security requirements, such as seat belts, oxygen masks or life vests.

And if they had any children, they had to seat on their parent’s lap- but the children were big enough to sit there. The incident has occurred on 24 of September and now the 6 passengers have sued the Anex Tour by demanding 4900$ each.
But Anex Tour offered only 212$ for each of them.

Defending the airline, a spokesman from Anex Tour said that no one had forced the passengers to fly. It was their decision. “All the tourists decided to fly back despite uncomfortable conditions.”
They could also wait seven hours for another plane, but indeed that chose to fly standing.

The incident wasn’t denied also by Tatarstan Airline, saying they won’t announce anything without the necessary investigations.
