<p>The Department for Transport has announced that some of the aviation security measures
on flights to and from the UK are being stepped up in response to potential threats
to aviation from terrorist organisations.</p><p> </p><p>As a result of the changes
we are implementing, some passengers may notice additional security measures on some
routes – both to and from the UK. Passengers on some routes may also be required to
show that electronic devices in their hand luggage can be powered up or face not being
allowed to bring the device onto the aircraft. Passengers are therefore advised to
make sure electronic devices being carried in their hand luggage are charged before
they travel.</p><p> </p><p>The safety and security of the public is a paramount concern
and the UK government keeps aviation security under constant review.</p>
