Turkish Airlines has announced that it has started offering laptops for its business class passengers on US-bound flights.
In a statement yesterday, the national flag carrier of Turkey also said it would provide the same service to its UK-bound business class passengers from May 12.
The move comes as the airline “continues to develop new solutions for its passengers with respect to the electronics ban, applied to its US- and UK-bound flights”, the statement notes.
Under this service, passengers who deliver their personal laptops to authorised Turkish Airlines staff before their flight can request for a laptop from the cabin crew in order to conduct business or personal work during the flight.
The laptops, which include a feature that converts them into tablets on being folded and also come with a touchscreen facility, will be offered through a high-security system that protects the personal information/works of passengers by automatically and permanently deleting them from the system when the notebook computer shuts down, the statement explains.
Passengers can also make a copy of their personal work on a USB memory stick.
