Emergency Evacuation Requests
Points to Note for Emergency Evacuations
- Baggage could cause an obstruction in the event of an evacuation, or damage the slide and render it unusable. For this reason, passengers must leave all baggage behind.
- High heels could damage the slide and render it unusable, and must therefore be removed.
- Photography and filming is prohibited as it will delay your own evacuation and obstruct that of others.
Points to Note When Going Down the Slide / Types of Assistance
- Put both arms out, sit up straight so that you can see your landing point, and slide down.
- Passengers providing assistance should stand on either side of the slide, and help others coming down the slide to their feet by taking their arms.
- Tell other passengers to immediately move far away from the aircraft to safety.
- In the event of an emergency evacuation, assistance may be requested from passengers other than those seated in the emergency exit row seats. Thank you for your cooperation with our crew members.
