Dubai-based airline Emirates has banned pagers and walkie-talkies onboard its planes following sabotage attacks in Lebanon and extended flight cancellations for Middle East destinations due to regional escalation, AFP reports.

“All passengers travelling on flights to, from or via Dubai are prohibited from transporting pagers and walkie-talkies in checked or cabin baggage,” the carrier said, weeks after communication devices used by Hezbollah exploded.

In a statement posted on its website on Friday, Emirates said that “such items found in passengers’ hand luggage or checked baggage will be confiscated by Dubai Police.”

Emirates also announced that its Iraq and Iran routes will remain suspended until Tuesday, while flights to and from Lebanon will remain suspended until October 15. Several other carriers have also put some services to and from Beirut and other Middle East airports on hold.
