“While we are all made aware of the security restrictions imposed, passengers still need to be reminded that some items, which are relatively innocuous in everyday use, are capable of posing a serious risk to the occupants of an aircraft, no matter where they are carried on the aircraft.

“We wish to remind passengers to check the instructions covering dangerous goods on their operator’s website or in the CAA’s Travelling Safely leaflet before they travel.

“If they are still unsure at the airport, there are notices on display and they can also ask the advice of the airline’s check-in staff.”
