FRA/rap> Frankfurt Airport (FRA) - which already has very high security standards - has
implemented further security measures as a result of the latest developments in Afghanistan
and the surrounding region. Expanded security controls, which have long been required for
U.S.-bound passengers and their hand luggage, will immediately take effect for all flights of
British carriers operating at FRA. In the coming days, the extra procedures could cause
delays at the control points in the terminals. Therefore, Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services
Worldwide (the company owning and managing FRA) advises these passengers, as well as
passengers traveling to the U.S., to plan their itinerary accordingly and to arrive at the
airport earlier than usual. To prevent delays at the security control points, all passengers are
again requested not to travel with potentially dangerous items, such as scissors, knives, etc.,
in their hand luggage or jacket pockets. Such items should be or left at home or packed in
check-in baggage.
