The month-long U.S. electronics ban seems to be coming to an end as several Arab airlines are now in the clear. It started with Etihad Airways, followed by Emirates and Qatar Airways ... and now Royal Jordanian has been given the green light.
Jordan's flag carrier - which flies directly to New York, Chicago and Detroit - has been cleared to lift the electronics ban on flights from Queen Alia International Airport to the U.S.
The decision was announced on Sunday after new security measures were implemented for U.S. bound flights.
"Enhanced security measures are now implemented to meet the requirements of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's new security guidelines for all U.S. bound flights," said Stefan Pichler, RJ President/CEO, in a statement, according to Jordan Times.
"We highly appreciate our passengers’ patience and understanding during the time of the [March 24] ban," he added.
Of course, Royal Jordanian didn't just announce the news just like any other airline ... it did so in pure style.
"Keep calm and carry on. Electronics ban lifted on flights to the USA," the airline wrote in an online ad which was posted to social media following the news.
Of course, people loved it!
Excitement (a lot of it) ensued
#JordanianPride at its best
References to "martadella" on board were in order
Simply put: "Keep calm and love RJ"
"The best social media team" indeed
The electronics ban on Royal Jordanian flights to the U.S. was first implemented back in March.
Following the U.S. ban - which restricted passengers flying from a number of Arab countries and airlines from carrying certain devices on flights - the UK followed suit, putting into effect an electronics ban on flights to the country from Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
Royal Jordanian has not yet confirmed whether the electronics ban on flights to the UK has yet been lifted.
