IATA SAFETY CAMPAIGN
Travel warning issued: This one mistake during airplane emergency could cost lives, IATA warns
A new safety campaign launched by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), with support from the FAA and EASA, is urging airline passengers to leave all baggage behind during aircraft evacuations. The initiative, called "Save a Life, Not a Bag," comes amid growing concerns over travelers stopping to retrieve luggage or record videos during emergencies. Aviation authorities warn that even brief delays can slow evacuations, block exits, damage emergency slides, and put lives at risk. Experts stress that following crew instructions and exiting immediately can significantly improve safety for everyone on board.
