In a statement posted on their website, Emirates Airlines said:
"All passengers traveling to, from, or via Dubai are prohibited from transporting pagers and walkie-talkies in checked or cabin baggage."
It went on to say
“Such items found in passengers’ hand luggage or checked baggage will be confiscated by Dubai Police."
The Middle East's largest airline also announced that flights to Iraq and Iran will remain suspended until Tuesday, while services to Jordan will resume on Sunday.
Israel is set to strike Iran after the Ayatollah sent a rocket barrage at the country on Tuesday causing fire to rain down over the country's skies. That's made flying in the region dangerous as Israel could strike at any time with a revenge blitz of its own.
In the aftermath of the mass simultaneous sabotage strike, Lebanon's aviation authority also made the same decision. Thousands of Lebanese were injured, including Hezbollah fighters and innocent civilians. Over 30 were killed and many lost fingers, eyes, or had large chunks of flesh taken out of their legs.
One security expert told reporters that the strike would cause global fears that terrorists could use the same tactic. Ex-military intelligence officer Philip Ingram said there could be "panic around the world" with airports and planes now more vulnerable than before.
Another aviation security expert said terrorists could use the same tactic to bring down a plane as it was just a "numbers game".
