With this email we would like to inform you that all customers travelling on direct flights to the United States and Canada will be subject to an additional screening of electronic devises in the hand baggage. Any such devices have to be taken out of their protective sleeves and switched on. Electronic devices screened may be taken on board. This measure only applies to hand baggage.
The measure applies to all battery-operated electronics, including telephones laptops, tablets, cameras, e-readers, handheld game consoles and MP3 players. If the device cannot be taken out of its protective sleeve and/or switched on, it will not be permitted on board the aircraft.
These additional checks will be performed at the gate prior to boarding and apply exclusively to our direct flights to the United States and Canada.
