Tighter controls for flights to the USA
26/10/2017 07:00

Travelers who want to fly to the USA will face new regulations from today. Several airlines - including Lufthansa - are stepping up controls. They are implementing instructions from the US authorities.

At the request of the American authorities, the airlines Lufthansa, Air France, Cathay Pacific, EgyptAir and Emirates will begin new security interviews of all passengers on flights to the USA today. This was announced by the companies.

The German airline Lufthansa announced that the new regulations were stipulated by the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which reports to the Department of Homeland Security. In addition to the screening of electronic devices, travelers to the USA may now also have to expect brief interviews at check-in, document control or at the gate. The airline Swiss, a subsidiary of Lufthansa, has asked its passengers to check in at least 90 minutes before departure.

Air France plans to begin interviews tomorrow at Orly Airport in Paris. On November 2, they will also take place at Charles de Gaulle Airport, the company announced. All passengers will be given a questionnaire.
