DUBAI/ISTANBUL (Reuters) – The United States has lifted the in-cabin ban on laptops and other large electronic devices on US-bound flights from Dubai and Istanbul, Emirates [EMIRA.UL] and Turkish Airlines said on Wednesday.
The announcements come three days after restrictions were lifted on Etihad Airways’ hub Abu Dhabi International Airport.
The ban was lifted “effective immediately” on Dubai International, the world’s busiest airport for international travel, after new security measures announced by the US last week were implemented, an Emirates spokeswoman said in a statement.
Emirates, the Middle East’s largest airline and which flies to 12 US cities, had blamed travel restrictions imposed by President Donald Trump’s administration for a drop in demand on US flights.
The Dubai-based carrier cut flights to five US cities from May, though has since said demand was starting to return on some routes.
Meanwhile, Turkish Airlines said in a statement that passengers traveling to the United States could now take their laptops onboard.
