AB - From March 25th, passengers on flights to the United States and Britain from major hubs in Turkey and the Arab world have had to check in any device larger than a smartphone, including laptops and tablets. The United States and Britain have cited intelligence indicating passenger jets could be targeted via explosives planted in such devices.Egypt's flag carrier EgyptAir said on March 21st that the decision would be implemented on its flights to New York as of March 24th. (MENA 21/3)Tunisia on March 24th summoned the British ambassador to protest against what it called an “unjustified” ban. The Foreign Ministry's head of European Affairs, Mohamed Mezghani, told ambassador Louise de Sousa that Tunisia was “surprised” it was not consulted on or informed of the decision ahead of its announcement.Mezghani said the ban “does not reflect the security situation in Tunisia” and cited a 2016 report by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) which he said described Tunisian airports as among the “safest” in the world.Tunisia has been rocked by a series of deadly jihadist attacks since the 2011 uprising, including a June 2015 shooting at a beach resort that killed 30 British tourists and eight others.
