\u00a0<\/span>Antigua & Barbuda is among countries to be affected as new security measures for travel to the United States are announced.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The United States Department of Homeland Security has determined it necessary to enhance security measures for all commercial flights to the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the time of this publication, the Antigua & Barbuda Airport Authority could not confirm when the measures will take effect.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Antigua & Barbuda is one of the 104 countries globally that will be adopting the required measures.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Changes that will be experienced due to the enhanced security measures include but are not limited to:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Heightened overall passenger screening.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u2022 Extensive screening of personal electronic devices: – electronic devices larger than a cell phone (for example laptop computers or tablets) as carry on or checked luggage may be subjected to further security screening.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Increased security protocols around aircraft and in passenger areas.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u2022 Deployment of advanced technology and the introduction of canine screening.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

With the new measures, queuing time at the security check points may be lengthened.<\/span><\/p>\n

The travelling public is therefore reminded to arrive at the airports the recommended 3 hours prior to the scheduled departure time for international flights.<\/span><\/p>\n
