\n

Cairo, Istanbul, Kuwait City, Doha, Qatar, Casablanca, Morocco, Amman, Jordan, Riyadh and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia; and Dubai<\/a> and Abu Dhabi<\/a> in the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

Nine airlines have direct flights from these airports to the U.S.A. (up to fifty times per day). They are\u00a0Royal Jordanian Airlines, Egypt Air, Turkish Airlines<\/a>, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Kuwait Airways, Royal Air Maroc, Qatar Airways<\/a>, Emirates<\/a> and Etihad Airways<\/a>.<\/p>\n

British regulations are slightly different; applying to Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia. Airlines affected are:\u00a0British Airways, easyJet, Jet2, Monarch, Thomas Cook, Thomson, Atlas-Global, Pegasus, EgyptAir, Royal Jordanian, Middle East Airlines, Saudia, Turkish Airlines and Tunisair<\/p>\n

Strangely enough, the list is not the same as the travel ban (this was\u00a0Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, which were banned from traveling to the United States for 90 days). The U.S. government seems at pains to point out that this is in response to a different, and as yet unspecified, threat.<\/p>\n

The electronics ban will affect citizens of ANY nation traveling between these destinations. The inclusion of Dubai and Istanbul<\/a> in this list is of particular concern, as these are key stop-over points for passengers from Asia and Australia.It is expected that there will be significant delays as airport checks will increase, and unsuspecting travelers have to transfer equipment to checked-in luggage. Passengers joining these flights from European destinations will not be affected.<\/p>\n

Rather oddly, the ban does not apply to flights from\u00a0the States to these destinations, nor to aircrew.Similarly, U.S. F.A.A. (Federal Aviation Authority) guidelines state that devices with lithium-ion batteries be taken on board as hand luggage, because of fire safety issues. These batteries power laptops, in-flight tablets, and cameras.The Turkish government has condemned the ban as unnecessary.<\/p>\n

It seems that the ban, which began on March 21st, will last until October 14th. Airlines and Airports affected were given 96 hours notice.<\/p>\n

Exemptions will be made for essential medical equipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Travel experts have been quick to point out some side -effects of the ban:<\/p>\n

Firstly, flights from these areas have many business travelers, who will be unable to work on their laptops in flight.<\/p>\n

Secondly, many will be angry that electronic equipment with potentially sensitive political and business information will be out of sight.<\/p>\n

Thirdly, valuable equipment, checked-in, is a godsend to thieves.<\/p>\n

Fourthly, Budget airlines (in particular) will now be able to charge for extra checked-in items, meaning additional costs for passengers.<\/p>\n

SUMMARY<\/strong><\/p>\n

U.S.and British Intelligence are obviously receiving information about potential threats.They are exactly that \u2018potential threats\u2019 and are taking cautious measures, which appear to be temporary.We think that caution is to be welcomed.<\/p>\n

Air travel remains very safe.More Americans are killed by their lawnmowers every year than come to harm in the air !.<\/p>\n
