Operating the handle/switch to open/close doors without being instructed to by the crew is extremely dangerous.

Smoking in lavatories

Smoking is not allowed in any part of the aircraft. (This includes imitation items such as electronic and smokeless tobacco products.) The risk of fire is particularly high when smoking in the lavatories.

From a security perspective, the crew must not be obstructed in performing their duties due to abusive language, threats, sexual harassment, or similar by passengers who have consumed excessive amounts of alcohol, etc.

The use of cell phones or other such equipment on board may hinder flight operations.
When the aircraft doors close after boarding, please turn off such devices immediately upon hearing the relevant announcement from the cabin crew.

Not wearing a seat belt

You may cause injury not only to yourself but also other passengers if you are thrown into the air by sudden turbulence or similar.

Not stowing your tray table or returning your seat to the upright position

This may cause a hindrance in the event of an emergency evacuation.

Leaving baggage in places that would hinder an emergency evacuation

Leaving baggage in the aisles, etc., is dangerous as it may fly in all directions during sudden turbulence or similar. It may also cause a hindrance in the event of an emergency evacuation.

Operating or moving items such as life vests or fire extinguishers, or acts rendering such items non-functional

Please refrain from the reckless use of emergency equipment such as life vests and fire extinguishers, as these are provided should an emergency occur.

Including the above acts, the acts below are prohibited as they are considered unruly behavior.

Request to Wear Seat Belt at All Times

When on board, we kindly request passengers keep their seat belts fastened at all times even when the seat belt sign is turned off, in readiness for any unexpected events that may occur.

There are belts to extend the seat belts attached to a seat. Please contact our cabin attendants if you require that.

Please note that your own extension belts brought by yourself cannot be used on board.

Request to Refrain from Smoking On Board

Smoking and the use of fire is strictly forbidden in all parts of the aircraft including the lavatories, as it may lead to the outbreak of fire. If the smoke detector is activated, this may result in a serious situation such as the aircraft having to return to the departure location or make an emergency landing at a nearby airport

Electronic and Smokeless Tobacco

The use of smoking substitutes that do not use fire, such as electronic and smokeless tobacco, is prohibited on board out of consideration for other passengers, as it may lead to misunderstanding and cause unease or discomfort. (This also applies to odor- or steam-emitting products that do not contain nicotine or tar.)

These items can still be brought on board as carry-on baggage.

Bringing Lighters/Matches on Board

One cigarette lighter or box of small safety matches per person can be carried on board.

Lighters containing oil tanks, cigar lighters, and premixed lighters (e.g., turbo lighters, jet lighters, lighters producing a powerful blue flame) cannot be carried on board or checked in.

Passengers sitting in Exit Row Seats or requested by a cabin attendant to assist in evacuation will be asked to assist with emergency evacuation. If you have any questions, please ask a cabin attendant.

Emergency Evacuation

In the event of an emergency, please cooperate with the following points to exit the aircraft safely and quickly.

Please refrain from taking carry-on baggage.
It may cause injury to yourself or other passengers, or block aisles and obstruct evacuation.
Please remove high-heeled shoes when evacuating.
It may cause injury to yourself and delay your own evacuation.
Photography and filming are prohibited.
It will delay your own evacuation and obstruct that of others.

Moving Seats

The engines on the CRJ700 are located at the aircraft rear, resulting in far more delicate balance in comparison to standard aircraft with main wing engines.
The aircraft's weight and balance is calculated prior to departure based on passengers taking their reserved seats. However, if passengers move to other seats, this changes the weight and balance and may affect how the aircraft takes off.

For safety reasons, IBEX Airlines checks prior to departure that passengers are sitting in their reserved seats.
If passengers move to other seats, the weight and balance will change, meaning recalculation will be required and thus potentially delaying the departure of the flight.

We would appreciate your understanding and cooperation in sitting in the seats you have reserved.

For your safety

Because the CRJ700 has a compact body, please note that the following information for your safety.
We would appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Overhead compartments

（1）Please watch the overhead when you get up from your seat.
（2）Please be careful not to cut your finger with the clasp of the overhead compartments when opening.
