Airport Security

Key Requirements for Passengers Before Their Flight

  • When purchasing your ticket, don’t forget to check how long before your flight you need to arrive at the airport.

  • For your safety, we recommend that you pack your own luggage and never accept items or wrapped packages from others for delivery.

  • Information regarding security procedures at your departure and destination airports can be obtained from your airline.

  • Never accept any wrapped packages from strangers.
