Which passengers require an additional pre-take-off safety briefing?

Passengers at emergency exits, often referred to as ABP (able-bodied persons), require an additional pre-take-off safety briefing because they are responsible for assisting the crew in case of an emergency. This briefing ensures that they fully understand their duties and the specific procedures to follow to help manage an emergency situation effectively. The importance of their role during an evacuation can significantly impact the safety of all passengers, making this briefing essential for their preparedness.

In contrast, other groups listed do not have additional responsibilities during an emergency that would necessitate a specific safety briefing tailored to their needs. Children under 12 do receive general safety instructions, but these are typically standardized and do not require the same level of individualized attention as ABPs. Frequent fliers, while they may be knowledgeable about the safety procedures, do not have specific duties that would warrant an additional briefing. Passengers with pets also do not face the same level of responsibility in emergency situations, so their need for an extra briefing differs from that of ABPs.
