Travelling in flights might be little boring hereafter, especially when you are travelling to UK from Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia. And this is because the government has issued a ban on large electronic devices being carried in cabin luggage on aircraft flying from the above country. As per the ban you can’t carry laptops, tablets and phones which are larger than a typical smartphone, measuring 16cm by 9.3cm by 1.5cm.
The flights which will be affected are British Airways, easyJet, Jet2.com, Monarch, Thomas Cook and Thomson, while overseas airlines impacted are Turkish Airlines, Pegasus Airways, Atlas-Global Airlines, Middle East Airlines, Egypt Air, Royal Jordanian, Tunis Air and Saudia. The move follows the United States, which has imposed restrictions on flights originating in Cairo, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Kuwait, Jordan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Doha and Istanbul. The ban was ordered by Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday following a number of meetings on aviation security. This is implemented to ensure the safety of the public travelling in flights even though it may cause a negative impact on the customers, few of them are supporting this as it’s a good move to ensure security and welfare of the passengers and by this incidents like 9/11 won’t be repeated.
