Emirates bans pagers from flights after Lebanon attack

Emirates Airline customers will no longer be allowed to travel with pager or walkie-talkie devices according to a company statement released Friday. The new policy comes after the militant group Hezbollah said their pagers and walkie-talkies were laced with explosives that killed dozens and wounded thousands including children in September. 

“All Passengers traveling on flights to, from or via Dubai are prohibited from transporting pagers and walkie talkies in checked or cabin baggage,” Emirates said in their statement.
