The disembarkation guidance system includes a plurality of electronically operable visual indicators, each of the plurality of electronically operable visual indicators being assigned to a respective seat row. The disembarkation guidance system further includes an indicator control device coupled to each of the electronically operable visual indicators. The indicator control device is configured to individually control electronically operable visual indicators to indicate passengers in the assigned seat row whether they are permitted to disembark the passenger aircraft.
