According to a pilot named Chris Cooke, who flies with a major domestic airline, said in an interview with Travel and Leisure magazine that the procedure comes under several safety measures that the airline takes to protect their passengers. The procedure is done to adjust the eyes of the passenger more quickly to darkness. This is because the safety of the aircraft is at major stake while landing and if anything goes wrong, the passenger is not in an unfamiliar state in case of emergency evacuation.

Unobstructed windows can bring in natural light in case lights are suddenly cut out and help guide passengers to safety.
