{{Heathrow Airport has told passengers to ensure all electronic devices carried as hand baggage are charged before travel if they are flying to the US.}}<\/p>\n

It posted details of the new rule on its website and Facebook page.<\/p>\n

The move follows a request from the US that “certain overseas airports” implement enhanced security measures.<\/p>\n

The UK government has also revised its rules to state that if a “device doesn’t switch on, you won’t be allowed to bring it on to the aircraft”.<\/p>\n

Affected passengers have been told they may also have to undergo extra screening measures.<\/p>\n

British Airways has said that its customers face being made to rebook if they are found in possession of an uncharged device.<\/p>\n

The Department for Transport declined to say whether other UK airports would enforce a similar restriction on flights to the US.<\/p>\n

American officials said last week they were aware of a “credible” terrorist threat, but have not linked the security changes to any specific intelligence.<\/p>\n
