The confusion and frustration that this new ban has unleashed on passengers, and on airport-officials, is just too complicated to be put into words. The US ban, for example, is technically related to ten airports in eight countries - Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Morocco, Qatar and United Arab Emirates. The affected foreign airlines are Royal Jordainian, Egyptair, Turkish airlines, Saudia airlines, Kuwait Airways, Royal Air Morocco, Qatar Airways, Emirates and Etihad, along with US airlines. The UK ban, however, applies to all direct passenger flights only from six countries - Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia. The affected airlines by UK ban are six UK carriers – British Airways, EasyJet, Jet2, Monarch, Thomas Cook and Thomson – and eight foreign carriers.
