Emirates Issues Guidelines For Passengers Carrying Electronic Devices

Emirates, the flag carrier of UAE, has asked travelers to carry maximum 15 electronic devices and each device must be separately packed. Devices which are not properly packaged or a passenger has over 15 electronic devices, the authorities could confiscate devices.

“Customers are reminded that they may not carry or check in more than 15 personal electronic devices (PED). Personal electronic items should be packaged separately, and not taped or attached to another electrical item”, Dubai’s flagship carrier said in a statement on its website.

“For safety reasons, authorities may confiscate items which are badly packaged, or if the number of items carried exceed the limit of 15 PEDs per passenger.”

As the holiday season is coming up, the airline is facing increased traffic substantially. Emirates has announced a busy travel period for both inbound and outbound travel through Dubai for December, advising passengers to arrive at the airport three hours in advance of their flight.

Moreover, the airlines does not accept min-segways, hoverboards, or self-balancing wheels for safety reasons. Travelers are also now allowed to carry drones on board as cabin baggage but they can be carried as checked-in baggage.
