Further Expansion of Security Measures at Frankfurt Airport
Frankfurt/Main (ots)
Frankfurt Airport (FRA) - which already has very high security standards - has implemented further security measures as a result of the latest developments in Afghanistan and the surrounding region. Expanded security controls, which have long been required for U.S.-bound passengers and their hand luggage, will immediately take effect for all flights of British carriers operating at FRA. In the coming days, the extra procedures could cause delays at the control points in the terminals. Therefore, Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide (the company owning and managing FRA) advises these passengers, as well as passengers traveling to the U.S., to plan their itinerary accordingly and to arrive at the airport earlier than usual. To prevent delays at the security control points, all passengers are again requested not to travel with potentially dangerous items, such as scissors, knives, etc., in their hand luggage or jacket pockets. Such items should be or left at home or packed in check-in baggage.
