easyJet can confirm that, in line with new UK Government requirements, it will be introducing new security measures on its flights from Turkey and Egypt to the UK from today.  

 

The new requirements mean that passengers on affected flights will not be permitted to take large personal electronics, such as kindles, tablets and laptops into the cabin of aircraft. We advise passengers to leave additional time to go to Bag Drop to check in any electronic items into their hold luggage and for the additional security checks at the gate.

We recommend that passengers do not bring large personal electronic devices if possible and would encourage customers to check in their hand luggage free of charge and bring only essential items onboard.

 

The safety and security of its passengers and crew is the airline's highest priority. 

 

easyJet will contact affected passengers ahead of their flights to notify them of the changes.
