We have been made aware of, and are carefully monitoring the consideration by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and their European counterparts to broaden the [existing ban](http://money.cnn.com/2017/03/21/news/airline-electronics-ban-explainer/) on in-flight electronics to the US from ten airports in the Middle East and North Africa, to also include trans-Atlantic flights; and the implications of such a ban.  
 More information on the proposed new ban can be found [here](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2017/05/17/laptop-ban-on-flights-explainer/101788100/).  
 We will update this page as new information becomes available.
