Hold Baggage Screening

As from 16 December 2008 passengers hold baggage will be security screened after Check In formalities. Consequently, all passengers should proceed directly to Check In counters.
Passengers may be called upon to verify the contents of their hold baggage, for security reasons, before boarding the aircraft.

LIST OF PROHIBITED ITEMS

Oversize Baggage

Passengers are informed that baggage/ items above 95cm in height and width will not be processed through AML hold baggage screening, and therefore are requested to contact their respective airlines for necessary action.

Cabin Baggage Screening

All passengers are required to undergo security screening and have their hand-luggage x-rayed. Sharp objects and potentially dangerous objects are not allowed in cabin baggage. For more details see Prohibited Items List. Security Officers at Screening Points may confiscate any item deemed potentially dangerous, either at their professional discretion or at the request of the airlines.

Passengers with medical conditions who need to carry medical items such as needles or syringes in their hand-carry baggage should carry the appropriate medical advice and produce same on demand.

Passengers who wish to have specific items manually inspected instead of x-ray examination may make such request to the security screening officers.

As from 1st March 2007, AML has adopted the new rule concerning the restrictions on Liquids, Aerosols and Gels in cabin baggage. Items in cabin baggage not conform to regulations, will be confiscated and disposed of as provided by the laws actually in force in Mauritius. In case of doubt, passengers can enquire with AML security officers on the floor.
