The laptop ban has been lifted for Royal Jordanian’s flights from Amman’s Queen Alia International Airport to the US, effective Sunday, a statement from the airline said.
Royal Jordanian’s President and CEO Stefan Pichler said: “Enhanced security measures are now implemented to meet the requirements of the US Department of Homeland Security’s new security guidelines for all US bound flights.”
He added: “We highly appreciate our passengers’ patience and understanding during the time of the [March 24 ] ban.”
Washington imposed the ban on direct flights originating at 10 airports in eight countries: Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and Turkey.
Royal Jordanian (RJ) operates 16 weekly non-stop flights to major US cities, including Chicago and New York, and Detroit.
