Stricter Security Measures For Anyone Travelling With Emirates To The United States Will Be Enforced Tomorrow
Passengers on Emirates Airline will face stricter security checks to coincide with new security guidelines enforced by the United States government.
Passengers will need to allow additional time prior to flight departure to go through the new checks in good time.
“The new directive requires passenger pre-screening interviews at the check-in counter for originating passengers and at the boarding gate for transfer and transit passengers” according to a spokesperson from Emirates.
The new measures will be in place from Thursday, October 26
“Emirates can confirm that following new security guidelines received from the US government, our flights to the USA will be subject to further, enhanced security screening measures starting October 26th, 2017. The new directive requires passenger pre-screening interviews at the check-in counter for originating passengers and at the boarding gate for transfer and transit passengers. These measures will work in complement with the current additional screening measures conducted at the boarding gate (including those for electronic devices). Passengers should allow additional time to be checked-in and boarded if travelling to the USA from Dubai International Airport.”
