Globe says Air Canada awaits word on Cdn laptop ban

The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that Transport Minister Marc Garneau says Canada is evaluating intelligence passed on by the United States to determine if it should require passengers travelling from some Middle East countries to pack all large electronic devices other than mobiles in their checked baggage. A triple-bylined item led by Robert Fife says that U.S. Homeland Secretary John Kelly spoke by telephone Tuesday with Mr. Garneau to explain why the Trump administration has ruled that only cellphones and smart phones will be allowed in the passenger cabin of flights into the U.S. from 10 airports in eight Muslim-majority countries. The U.S. directive was joined Tuesday by subsequent ban of large electronics for some travellers headed to Britain. If Canada were to implement a similar ban, among the routes affected could be Turkish Airlines flights from Istanbul to Montreal, Royal Jordanian Airlines flights between Amman and Montreal and Qatar Airways flights between Doha and Montreal. Etihad Airways and Royal Jordanian, said Tuesday the directives they had received so far had only applied to U.S.-bound flights. Since Canada has not yet imposed a ban, Air Canada is not affected.
