Britain lifts laptop ban for some flights from Turkey

LONDON, , (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 28th Jul, 2017 ) : Britain on Friday lifted a ban on personal electronic devices for flights from Istanbul's Sabiha Gokcen airport but will keep restrictions for Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and other Turkish hubs.

Britain's transport ministry said passengers would be allowed to carrying large phones, laptops and tablets in the cabin on all UK-bound flights from the airport. The ban "will be lifted on a case-by-case basis once the UK government has verified that airlines have put in place alternative security measures, and that it is safe and proportionate to do so," it said.
