Emirates Airlines bans pagers and walkie-talkies on Dubai flights; confiscates and suspends flights to Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran.

Emirates Airlines has banned pagers and walkie-talkies on all flights to, from, or via Dubai due to recent attacks involving explosive devices linked to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Passengers cannot carry these items in checked or cabin baggage, and any found will be confiscated by Dubai Police. Additionally, flights to Lebanon are suspended until October 15, while routes to Iraq and Iran remain canceled until Tuesday. Services to Jordan will resume on Sunday.
