Britain has followed the US’ planned decision made yesterday to ban laptops, iPads, cameras, and any electronic devices larger than a mobile phone from passengers’ handluggage on board flights from eight Middle Eastern and North African countries.
It is not yet known which airlines and which countries will be affected by the UK ban.
In the US no American carriers have been impacted by the ban which is believed to extend to at least 12 airlines.
The US ban will stop passengers bringing devices in their carry-on luggage.
This is a breaking story.
