Restrictions have also been lifted on a number of individual airlines operating from other airports, and the UK government is advising passengers to contact their airlines for advice about whether their flights are affected.

Restrictions on carrying large phones, laptops, tablets and accessories into the cabin of UK-bound flights from Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon and Tunisia were introduced in March.

However, after working with the aviation industry and international partners to introduce tough additional security measures, the UK government has begun lifting these restrictions on some UK-bound flights.

“Restrictions remain in place at other airports and will be lifted on a case-by-case basis once the UK government has verified that airlines have put in place alternative security measures, and that it is safe and proportionate to do so,” the Department for Transport said on its website.

The following airports continue to be affected by restrictions, although some individual airlines may be exempt:

Turkey:

Istanbul Atatürk
Izmir
Bodrum
Antalya
Dalaman

Egypt:

Cairo
Hurghada
Marsa Alam
Luxor
