Qatar Airways bans passengers from carrying pagers, walkie-talkies on Lebanon flights
Qatar Airways has prohibited all passengers flying from Beirut Rafic Harirl International Airport (BEY) from carrying pagers and walkie-talkies on board flights.
The airlines said that the restriction applies to checked and carry-on luggage, as well as cargo, and will be enforced until further notice.
In a post on X, Qatar Airways stated, «Effective immediately: Following the directive received from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation of the Republic of Lebanon, all passengers flying from Beirut Rafic Harirl International Airport (BEY) are prohibited from carrying pagers and walkie-talkies on board flights. The ban applies to both checked and carry-on luggage, as well as cargo, and will be enforced until further notice.»
The action follows walkie-talkies and pager explosions in Lebanon that resulted in devastating consequences. In the latest attacks on Wednesday, at least 20 people lost their lives and over 450 were injured in Lebanon, authorities said, according to a report by Al Jazeera.
The latest attack came just a day after 12 people were killed and more than 2800 others were wounded in a coordinated explosion of pagers in Lebanon.
