UK eases large electronics ban
The UK will now allow large electronic items in the cabin on the majority of flights from Turkey and Tunisia, relaxing restrictions imposed on security grounds earlier this year. In March 2017, the UK banned large personal devices in the aircraft cabin on inbound flights from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Turkey. This followed a similar sudden move by US authorities, which has also since been relaxed. The UK govt said: “After working with the aviation industry and international partners to introduce tough additional security measures, the UK govt has begun lifting these restrictions on some UK-bound flights.” Large electronic items will now be allowed on incoming flights from 4 Turkish airports—Antalya, Bodrum, Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen and Izmir—as well as Luxor in Egypt and Tunis-Carthage in Tunisia. <br/>
