Security

Submit yourself willingly to security controls: It is in your own interest!

These controls are performed before access to the boarding area. Hand baggage must pass through a radioscopic control device and may, also, be subject to hand search.

If you have a bunch of keys or other metal object, place it on the carpet of the radioscopic control device. This will avoid triggering an audible alarm when you pass through the detection gate.

Due to strengthening security measures in aviation, you must now do the same for any object (metal or otherwise) that you carry with you (watch, bracelet, necklace, etc.) as well as your jackets or coats.

For small objects, a small basket is made available to you. These objects or clothing will be given back to you after your passage through the gantry.

However, it should be noted that it is strictly prohibited to place in your hand luggage blunt or sharp objects such as penknives, scissors, knives, cutters, weapons or objects that can be considered a weapon, etc.

Any object of this type, will be removed by security control and may be destroyed without your being compensated.

If you wear a pacemaker or any implanted technical device (insulin pumps, and even some hearing devices) inform the security officer and do not go through the gantry - But you will not on this account be dispensed of body search -.

You should also know that, from extra precaution, you may be asked to proceed at the foot of the plane, to the identification of your checked baggage.

Finally, never leave your luggage unattended in the premises of the terminal.
