The US is expected to broaden its ban on in-flight laptops and tablets to include planes from the European Union, a move that would create logistical chaos on the world’s busiest corridor of air travel.
Alarmed at the proposal, European governments held urgent talks today with the US Department of Homeland Security.The ban would affect trans-Atlantic routes that carry as many as 65 million people a year on over 400 daily flights, many of them business travelers who rely on their electronics to work during the flight.
The EU said American officials were invited to Brussels next week to discuss the proposed ban.
