Several airlines including Qatar on Thursday, September 19 prohibited travelers flying to and from Lebanon’s Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport from carrying pagers and walkie-talkies. This decision has been in response to the mass blasts connected with these gadgets that have claimed many lives in Beirut.

UAE airlines, including Emirates, have issued clarifications regarding the transportation of pagers and walkie-talkies on flights to Lebanon, following a recent ban by Lebanese authorities on these devices.

Emirates has updated its travel protocols for flights to Lebanon. While the airline did not provide specific details about pagers and walkie-talkies, it is actively monitoring the security situation and advising passengers to stay informed about any changes that could impact their travel plans.
