美國解除對(duì)卡塔爾航空公司乘客隨機(jī)攜帶手提電腦的禁令
Qatar Airways said Thursday its passengers can once again carry on laptop computers and other personal electronics for direct flights to the United States.
The airline said in a statement that it and its hub Hamad International Airport had met new U.S. security requirements.
In March, the U.S. banned laptops and large electronics from the cabins of direct flights from 10 airports in the Middle East and North Africa over concerns that terrorists could hide bombs inside the devices.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security further said last week that the airlines needed to implement sophisticated imaging technology for X-Ray and ultrasound screening of carry-on devices, or continue to ban passengers from bringing the electronics on the plane.
Qatar Airways is the fourth airline to announce this week the restrictions were being lifted for its passengers.
Abu Dhabi-based Etihad was the first to say so on Sunday, while Dubai-based Emirates and Istanbul-based Turkish Airlines said Tuesday they had met the new requirements.
An Emirates spokesperson said in a statement new imaging technology was put in place at Dubai International, the world's busiest airport for international travel.
Emirates airlines had reported a decline in the past month in demand for flights to the United States, and consequently cut its schedule from Dubai to five U.S. cities.
The ban still applies to non-stop U.S.-bound flights from airports in Jordan, Kuwait, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Morocco.
卡塔爾航空公司星期四說,直飛美國的航班旅客又可以攜帶手提電腦等個(gè)人電子產(chǎn)品上飛機(jī)了。
卡塔爾航空公司在聲明中說,該航空公司及其中樞機(jī)場(chǎng)-哈馬德國際機(jī)場(chǎng)都已經(jīng)滿足了美國新的安全要求。
美國政府三月份宣布,禁止從中東和北非10個(gè)機(jī)場(chǎng)直飛美國的航班乘客攜帶手提電腦和大件電子產(chǎn)品,擔(dān)心恐怖分子會(huì)把炸彈藏匿在里面。
美國國土安全部上星期又指出,這些航空公司需要采用先進(jìn)的影像技術(shù),通過X光和超聲波對(duì)隨身攜帶的電子產(chǎn)品進(jìn)行排查,否則就要繼續(xù)禁止乘客將電子產(chǎn)品帶進(jìn)機(jī)艙。
卡塔爾航空公司是本周第四家宣布解除禁令的航空公司。
總部設(shè)在阿布扎比的阿提哈德航空公司星期天率先宣布解禁,總部設(shè)在迪拜的阿聯(lián)酋航空公司和總部設(shè)在伊斯坦布爾的土耳其航空公司星期二也宣布,已經(jīng)滿足了美國的要求。
阿聯(lián)酋航空公司發(fā)言人在聲明中說,世界上國際客流量最多的迪拜國際機(jī)場(chǎng)已經(jīng)啟用了新的影像技術(shù)
阿聯(lián)酋航空公司說,上個(gè)月飛往美國的客流量下降,并因此決定減少從迪拜飛往美國五大城市的航班數(shù)量。
美國的禁令還針對(duì)從約旦、科威特、埃及、沙特阿拉伯和摩洛哥直飛美國的航班。
