DUBAI: Dubai's Emirates Airlines has banned passengers from carrying pagers and walkie-talkies on its flights, following last month's attacks on Lebanese group Hezbollah involving communication devices that exploded.

"All passengers travelling to, from, or via Dubai are prohibited from transporting pagers and walkie-talkies in checked or cabin baggage," the airline said in a statement on its website on Friday (Oct 4). It added that any prohibited items found will be confiscated by Dubai Police as part of heightened security measures.
