The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) of the United Kingdom updated information and advice following changes to the restrictions on carrying electronic items in the aircraft cabin on some flights to the UK from Turkey.
Restrictions on carrying large phones, laptops and tablets in the cabin have been lifted on all UK bound flights from the following airport:
- Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen
The UK government has lifted a ban on carrying large electronic devices in the aircraft cabin of some flights to the UK from Turkey.
Restrictions on carrying large phones, laptops, tablets and accessories into the cabin of UK-bound flights from Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon and Tunisia were introduced in March.
However, after working with the aviation industry and international partners to introduce tough additional security measures, the UK government has begun lifting these restrictions on some UK-bound flights.
Restrictions remain in place at other airports and 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.
The following airports continue to be affected by the restrictions:
- Turkey:
- Istanbul Atatürk
- Izmir
- Bodrum
- Antalya
- Dalaman
