New rules for the transportation ofВ liquids
Dear passengers,
According toВ aВ decree issued byВ the Ministry ofВ Transport ofВ the Russian Federation, several changes now apply toВ the rules ofВ pre-flight and post-flight inspection asВ ofВ JanuaryВ 11, 2013.
One ofВ them prohibits the transportation ofВ all kinds ofВ liquids inВ carry-on luggage for flights departing from airports located inВ the Russian Federation. This measure isВ aimed atВ ensuring the protection ofВ civil aviation facilities against unlawful acts during the run-up and hosting ofВ the 2014В XXII Winter Olympics and XIВ Winter Paralympics inВ Sochi.
Passengers undergoing pre-flight inspection are now prohibited from carrying any types of vessels (containers, tubes, etc.) containing liquids, including those smaller than 100 ml. The only exceptions are for medicine, special dietary requirements and baby foods, including breast milk in the amount needed for the duration of the flight, provided their proper identification. The new rules do not apply to goods bought in the ’clear’ zone, which includes duty free shops.
Thanks for your understanding ofВ changes toВ the procedures for passenger inspection byВ aviation security service staff.
