At what age can a passenger sit in the exit seat?

The correct age for a passenger to sit in the exit seat is 15 years old. This policy is in place to ensure that individuals who occupy exit rows are mature enough to assist in an emergency situation, should the need arise. Passengers in exit seats must have the ability to understand and follow instructions, as they may be required to help open the exit door or assist with evacuating other passengers.

Some airlines set their policies around this age limit to align with safety regulations and to promote maximum readiness among passengers seated in these critical areas. Therefore, ensuring that a passenger is at least 15 years old adheres to industry standards for safety and preparedness in emergency circumstances.
