The ban was imposed for 10 airports in the Muslim-majority nations in North Africa, Middle East, and Turkey as well, as quoted by the New Indian Express. The US travel ban for electronic devices was also aimed at flights that originated from Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Egypt. Stefan Pichler the Chief Executive Officer of Royal Jordanian Airlines revealed this in a statement issued to the press. He added that increased measures for security have now been implemented for the flights of Royal Jordanian Airlines. These are in compliance with the instructions of the Department of Homeland Security in the US, added the statement. Stefan Pichler said that he was glad to announce that travelers on board the US-bound flights from Queen Alia International Airport in Amman can carry electronic devices. Meanwhile, Saudia the flagship airline of Saudi Arabia said that it is anticipating the removal of travel ban for its flights by July 19. The US has said that it will be removing the travel ban for those nations that adhere to its newly announced safety policies.
