The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has launched a campaign urging passengers to leave cabin baggage behind in the event of an evacuation.
A recent poll of travellers in the US, UK, UAE and Singapore has shown that while 80% of those surveyed said they knew what to do in an emergency, only 61% correctly said they should leave all personal items and exit the aircraft.
One in 10 passengers admitted they might still take baggage during an evacuation, even when instructed not to.
