Ryanair Initial Practice Exam

Which group of passengers cannot occupy emergency exit rows?

1. Passengers under 16

2. Passengers in wheelchairs

3. First-time flyers

4. Passengers with pets

The correct answer is: Passengers under 16

Passengers under 16 are not permitted to occupy emergency exit rows due to safety regulations and the responsibilities that come with sitting in those seats. Emergency exit row seats are designated for individuals who can assist in evacuating the aircraft in the event of an emergency. Passengers in this area must be capable of comprehending instructions, taking actions promptly, and aiding other passengers, which can be challenging for someone who is under 16 years of age. This age restriction ensures that all occupants in the emergency exit rows are physically and mentally prepared to perform these essential roles if necessary. The other groups mentioned, such as passengers in wheelchairs, first-time flyers, or those traveling with pets, are not specifically prohibited from sitting in emergency exit rows but may have other limitations based on individual circumstances or aircraft regulations.
