DUBAI, July 5 (Xinhua) -- The United Arab Emirates (UAE) said Wednesday the U.S. has lifted the ban of electronic devices on board of flights from the Gulf Arab emirate to the United States, Dubai daily Gulf News reported.
Dubai's government-controlled Emirates said the lifting of the ban which took place with immediate effect was made possible after the airline implemented new "security measures" to meet the U.S. requirements for security.
The UAE's national carrier Etihad Airways said additional passenger screening was implemented at Abu Dhabi international airport in line with the demands by the U. S. Department of Homeland Security.
