The US has lifted its laptop ban on flights from Doha after the country agreed to implement enhanced safety restrictions.
The laptop ban had been put in place by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) earlier this year, covering flights from ten Middle Eastern airports to the US, including Qatar Airways’ Doha base.
On Monday, the ban was lifted on flights to the US from Abu Dhabi.
“Qatar Airways is pleased to confirm that with immediate effect, all personal electronic devices can be carried on board all departures from Hamad International Airport, Doha, to destinations in the United States,” the airline said in a statement.
“Qatar Airways and Hamad International Airport have met with all requirements of the US Department of Homeland Security’s new security guidelines and we would like to express our thanks to the US and local authorities for their support during this process.
“We would also like to thank our loyal passengers for their understanding and patience while the ban has been in place.”
