Finally, business travellers may be missing the short-lived days of the laptop banThe ban on in-flight computers imposed by the United States last May. Since 26 October, flights to the United States have been subject to control measures drastic. Security interviews, thorough searches, early arrival at the airport: airlines the world over have been forced to adapt to the new requirements of the TSA (Transportation Security Administration). In total, the measure affects no fewer than 180 airlinesIn all, France is one of the world's leading airlines, with 280 airports and 105 countries, and a population of around 325,000 travellers every day. France is no exception to the rule.
This tightening of boarding procedures had been imposed 120 days earlier by the American authorities, in return for the abandonment of the laptop ban. At the time, this measure concerned around ten countries, and was limited to the largest electronic devices, such as laptops, which were relegated to the hold.
It remains to be seen whether these new measures and their consequences for passengers - whose journey has become chaotic to say the least - will have an impact on the number of business trips and business events organised in the United States.
