Air India to ease baggage rules

Manama: AIR India is likely to relax its hand baggage rules further from tomorrow, with passengers being allowed to carry duty free items onboard under certain restrictions.
Dubai-based Air India's Gulf regional director Sanjeev Talwar told the GDN the Bureau of Civil Aviation Safety (BCAS), in New Delhi, was due expected to issue the directive soon.
Air India had completely banned all cabin luggage on its flights except travel documents, cash, jewellery, medicines (accompanied by doctors' prescriptions), other documents (such as school certificates and medical certificates) and infant food (allowed only if an infant is travelling), on August 28 after receiving a directive from the BCAS in the aftermath of the terror scare in London early last month.
On September 6, it issued another directive allowing passengers to carry with them laptops and cameras, in addition to the other items on the 'allowed list'.
