REMINDERS FOR AIRLINE PASSENGERS ✈️
The Philippine National Police Aviation Security Group (PNP-AVSEGROUP) and the Office for Transportation Security (OTS), in coordination with the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), are reminding passengers traveling through Ninoy Aquino International Airport and other major airports in the country to strictly observe rules on prohibited items in hand-carry baggage.
Passengers traveling with infants may bring baby formula and breast milk exceeding 100 ml only if these are declared at the security screening checkpoint for further inspection.
Authorities also reiterated that liquids, aerosols, gels, sprays, and similar toiletry items exceeding the allowable limit are prohibited in carry-on baggage. These include contents of pressurized containers, such as:
• Shaving foam and other foams
• Deodorants
• Cosmetic oils
• Hair and shower gels
• Lotions
• Toothpaste and other pastes
• Perfumes and sprays
These items must be placed in checked baggage if they exceed the permitted limit.
Authorities emphasized that any LAGs (liquids, aerosols, and gels) in containers larger than 100 ml are not allowed in hand-carry or cabin luggage, even if the container is only partially filled.
Local airlines such as Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and AirAsia Philippines follow CAAP guidelines, which use watt-hours (Wh), rather than milliampere-hours (mAh), in determining power bank limits.
Passengers may carry up to two power banks below 100Wh in their hand-carry baggage without prior airline approval. Power banks exceeding 100Wh require approval from the airline.
Meanwhile, prohibited items such as fi****ms, toy guns, flare guns, paintball guns and their components, disguised or improvised fi****ms, stun guns, electronic bug zappers, knives, blades, and other sharp objects are only allowed in checked baggage and must be accompanied by the necessary permits and documentation, when applicable. | via Rudy Santos
