News summary

The Lebanese Civil Aviation Authority has implemented new security measures at Beirut Rafic Hariri Airport, banning communication devices such as tablets from being carried by passengers or in their luggage to enhance airport security. Meanwhile, the U.S. and Canada have introduced stricter air cargo security protocols due to potential risks from incendiary devices found in European parcel networks, particularly following a fire incident linked to a Baltic package. This includes requiring detailed information on shippers and enforcing that shipments come from established business relationships. In the aviation sector, experts are urging caution regarding the integration of artificial intelligence, highlighting its dual role in enhancing operational efficiency while increasing vulnerability to cyber attacks. Additionally, a security incident at Pietermaritzburg airport resulted in the theft of a vehicle from a long-term parking area, prompting the security company to bolster measures despite acknowledging their responsibility for the event. Overall, these developments reflect a growing emphasis on security across various aspects of air travel and logistics.
