Russians to Get Used to 100 Grams
Rossiyskaya Gazeta promulgated yesterday the ruling of Russia’s Transport Minister Igor Levitin on introducing new rules for the customs checks on international and domestic flights. Similar to the EU regulations, the passengers traveling by Russian airlines won’t be able to carry onboard the liquids, gels and aerosols in containers larger than 100ml.
Under the new regulations of the RF Transport Ministry that take effect August 27, 2007, all liquids, gels and aerosols in containers larger than 100ml must be packed in the checked baggage. The containers with liquids and gels should be carried in a separate plastic bag that won’t exceed 1L and that will be closed. The liquids purchased in Duty Free could be taken into the cabin only in a closed clear plastic bag.
The restrictions were elaborated by International Civil Aviation Association and similar rules have been applied in all 25 member states of EU since November 2006 after Britain’s detectives foiled the plot of terrorists intending to use liquid explosives to blow up airliners heading for the United States. Unlike Europe, the passengers preferring the airlines of Russia may unpack their duty-free bags in the cabin provided, of course, it isn’t a transit flight with another customs examination.
