Emirates Released A Statement About Changes To The Electronics Ban

Emirates Airlines has released a statement about the United States electronic ban, in regards to reviews on the policy which prohibited passengers from taking electronic devices larger than a smart phone, into the cabin of flights to the United States. 

The policy is currently under review by the US Department of Homeland Security, as per the statement released by Emirates. 

Yesterday, it was announced that Etihad Airways is allowing travellers to take their laptops and electronic devices into the cabins once again.

The Emirates statement reads: 

 “We welcome the US Department of Homeland Security’s latest directive on enhanced screening measures. Lifting the ban on bringing laptops and other personal electronic devices onboard will be good news for travellers flying into the USA. We look forward to working with the authorities and Dubai airport stakeholders to implement these measures as soon as possible for our US flights.”
