New Cabin Items Restrictions
This to bring to your attention that the Kenya Airports Authority - KAA has announced the introduction of cabin Items restrictions as part of a global precautionary measure to protect aircraft against possible liquid explosive threats. These rules are aligned to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards.

All passengers traveling on international flights from Kenya or transiting NBO to connect on International flights will therefore be restricted from carrying certain liquids, aerosols and gels in the cabin of aircraft as of 01st September 2007.

Sealed transparent bag
Passengers flying to any international destinations out of Kenya will be required to place essential liquids to be carried on board in a re-sealable clear plastic bag with a capacity of not more than one litre. Each item containing liquid cannot exceed 100ml in quantity and must fit comfortably inside of the sealed bag. When proceeding through airport security checkpoints, the bag must be separated from any other cabin baggage. Exempted are liquids required for medical purposes including baby food.

Duty free purchases
Any duty free liquid, gel or aerosol products purchased after security checkpoints should be placed in special security bags by the store and customers connecting to further destinations are advised to keep these sealed throughout their journey.
If these limitations are not adhered to, items will be confiscated by airport security and airlines will unfortunately not be in a position to recover these for customers.

Check-in
Travelers are urged to prepare for the new rules in the pre travel stage of their trip and allow extra time at check-in and security check points arriving at least three hours before the flight departure.

Baggage at Check-in
When you check-in, you may be asked some questions about your baggage:

We recommend you take anything you may need on the flight with you, including medication and keys. All medication should have a professional pharmaceutical label on the container if you are transporting medication in your carry-on luggage. If you require a medical syringe, you must have the needle guard intact.

All checked baggage must have your name, address and telephone number or email on the outside of the bag. You are strongly encouraged to put your name and address on the inside of the bag as well should the outside tag be separated from the bag. Kenya Airways may refuse baggage at check-in unless it is labeled.

Excess Value Declarations and Charges
You may declare a value for your checked baggage in excess of the applicable liability limit. If you make such a declaration, you must pay additional charges in accordance with our regulations.

Our maximum liability for damaged or missing baggage under the Warsaw Convention is $20.00 US per kilogram. Kenya Airways will not accept liability for valuables, fragile or perishable articles including money, jewellery, cameras, video and electronics equipment, silverware, negotiable instruments, business documents, samples, antiques, paintings, furs, manuscripts or similar items, computers and medication.
