Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) enforced
rules that restrict the amount of Liquids, Aerosols and Gels (LAGs)
that passengers may take on board in their hand luggage on
international flights, to protect against the threat of liquid
explosives. Such rules took effect in the European Union and the United
States of America, and South Africa which started enforcing
these international aviation safety regulations on 01 June 2007.

LAGs stands for Liquids, Aerosols and
Gels.
If you can POUR it, PUMP it, SQUEEZE it, SPREAD it, SMEAR it,
SPRAY it or SPILL it, it is considered a LAG.

Why is LAGs being implemented? |
|
|
| |
These new rules are a global safety
precaution campaign initiated and driven by the International
Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
Like all other airport management companies in the world,
ACSA is an implementing agency of the ICAO which has
stipulated a universal and uniform application of these
rules. |

Where can I get the correct bags? |
|
|
| |
|
Bags will be available at key points in the airport
precinct and will also be issued to airlines for
distribution to their passengers at check-in as a last
resort. Longer term initiatives will see ACSA providing
these bags to the travel industry to allow for distribution
at the point of ticket purchase. |
