How security control works
- Provide maximum collaboration in safeguarding flight safety and facilitating checks before acceding to the embarkation area.
- Prepare your boarding card and the documents necessary to be shown during controls
- Place metal objects or other objects included in the list that is included in the following in the special tray
- You might be asked to remove your shoes or repeat X-ray checks more than once. We trust in your cooperation if it becomes necessary to open your hand luggage or confiscate something
- Thanks to the new EDS-CB machines with TAC technology for hand luggage check that replaces the X-Ray ones, you will no longer have to open your baggage to extract liquids, creams, PCs, and iPads at security checks.
Liquids and beverages purchased in the duty-free shop and beyond the security controls
Liquids can be bought, such as beverages and perfumes in the airport retail outlets, the Duty-Free shops beyond security controls, on the aircraft and in other Community airports.Products purchased at the Duty-Free shops and on-board aircraft will be handed over by the retailer in special sealed bags and can be transported onboard the aircraft.
Keep the products together with the receipt in the sealed bag at the time of purchase: these will be subject to controls at security stations.
We advise that you do not open the bags before arriving at the final destination: in some cases, Security Agents will have to open the bags and occasionally also the liquid containers.
If you do not do this, if there are intermediate stopovers the liquids purchased might be confiscated at security control.
Liquid transport during an intermediate landing
Inform the security agent: the agent will newly insert the liquid products in a sealed bag with the proof of purchase and a certificate attesting to the control carried out.The regulations are applied even if you exit the customs arrivals area and then return into it during the three following hours.
Transport of medicines and dietary products for children
You can take medicines, dietary products and foodstuffs for children out of the reclosable bag and in your hand luggage.It might be necessary to demonstrate the effective need for these articles.
Objects prohibited from hand luggage
If you are carrying items in your baggage that do not pass the security controls, you can leave them in custody at the left luggage in the airport and collect them at your convenience when you return.Information
