WE REMIND YOU OF THE NEW SECURITY MEASURES

Following are the new measures established by regional airport security authorities for security and logistical reasons regardless of a passenger's origin or destination.

Passengers should:

  • Arrive at the airport at least 3 hours prior to their flight
  • Travel light: packing your bags neatly and simply will help to speed you through the screening process.


Baggage restrictions

The only liquids permitted in your carry-on baggage are:

  • Baby formula, breast milk, baby food, and juices in small containers if traveling with a child
  • Medications (including liquids, gels, and aerosols)
  • Liquids, gels, and aerosols in containers not exceeding 3.4 oz. (100 ml) each, provided they are placed together in one transparent 1-quart (1 liter) zip-lock bag measuring no more than 8.3 x 7.3 inches (21 x 18.5 cm.)

The bag must be closed/sealed and the contents must fit comfortably for visual or X-ray inspection separate from the passenger's carry-on baggage.

If any of the articles does not fit into a transparent 1-quart re-sealable bag and/or exceeds 3.4oz (100 ml), it must be declared to security personnel at the boarding gate.

Items not permitted in carry-on baggage

  • Any liquids, gels, or aerosols not meeting the above criteria must be packed in checked baggage. This includes drinks, creams, lotions, shampoo, toothpaste, hair gel, liquid cosmetics and all other products of a liquid or gelatinous consistency in containers exceeding the maximum permitted amount of 3.4 oz. or 100 ml.

Passengers carrying liquids, gels and/or aerosols to the waiting area or boarding gate are subject to secondary inspection.


Security measures at duty-free stores

Articles purchased at duty-free stores within the airport sterile area (after transiting the security checkpoint) are permitted; however:

  • If your flight is to the U.S.:
    The store may not give you your item/s until you are at the boarding gate or on board the aircraft.
  • If your flight is departing from the U.S.:
    You may receive your item/s in the store where you buy them.


Measures at security checkpoints

Inspection areas

Prior to boarding, all passengers must pass through established security checkpoints for inspection of carry-on baggage.

  • Passengers wishing to leave the area prior to boarding may do so, but must be re-inspected before reentering.
  • For flights with stops on route, all passengers will be asked to debark for inspection at the final connecting point.

We urge all of our passengers to note the preceding information and recommendations in order to avoid being inconvenienced or delayed when traveling.

For more information please contact a service representative at any of our offices.
