Iran announces: New rule for airplanes

Iran has made a new decision following Israel's attacks on Lebanon and the missile attack launched against Israel.

According to Iran's official news agency IRNA, Civil Aviation Organization Spokesperson Jafar Yazerlu announced that, in order to ensure flight safety, the carriage of electronic communication devices such as pagers and walkie-talkies, excluding mobile phones, has been banned on aircraft.

Yazerlu stated that the ban applies to both the passenger cabin and the cargo hold, and that passengers should refrain from carrying electronic communication devices other than mobile phones onto aircraft.
