Emirates bans electronic pagers and walkie-talkies on flights to and from Dubai

Emirates Airlines has banned electronic pagers and walkie-talkies on all flights to, from, or via Dubai. This decision follows recent explosions in Lebanon and Syria linked to these devices, which resulted in numerous casualties. The airline stated that any such items found in passengers' luggage will be confiscated by Dubai Police. This ban aligns with similar restrictions imposed by Lebanese authorities on flights departing Beirut. While Emirates has resumed flights to Amman, services to Iraq, Iran, and Lebanon remain suspended due to ongoing regional conflicts. The airline is monitoring the situation closely.
