CAIRO – The airline Emirates has banned pagers and walkie-talkies from its planes, the German news agency (dpa) reported.
"All passengers travelling on flights to, from, or via Dubai are prohibited from carrying pagers or walkie-talkies in checked or cabin baggage," read a statement on the airline's website.
If such items are found, they will be confiscated by the Dubai police, the statement continued.
Numerous pagers and walkie-talkies belonging to Hezbollah members in Lebanon exploded in September in an attack linked to Israel. At least 39 people were killed and around 3,000 others were injured, some severely.
Most of the victims were Hezbollah members, though there were also civilian casualties. – October 8, 2024
