Saudi Arabian Airlines hopes US will lift laptop ban by July 19: SPA
Saudi Arabian Airlines expects the in-cabin ban on laptops and other large electronics on its direct flights to the US to be lifted by July 19, state news agency SPA reported Tuesday. But US authorities said it was too early to say whether the carrier would satisfy the new requirements. The airline is working with the country's civil aviation authority, GACA, to implement new security measures for US-bound flights announced by the US Department of Homeland Security last week, according to the SPA report. Saudia flies to the US from airports in Jeddah and Riyadh. Emirates said Tuesday it was working to implement measures to lift the ban. <br/>
