Following guidance from the European Aviation Safety Agency, it is up to airlines, such as Lufthansa and British Airways, to update their rules so that passengers will no longer have to turn off mobile devices during take-off and landing, provided they are in flight-safety mode. "We expect most airlines to amend procedures so you will be able to keep mobile devices switched on in flight mode." A Commission official added the change was expected in weeks as airlines could start implementing it from now. Geert Sciot, a spokesman for the Association of European Airlines, said the body welcomed the harmonization with U.S. rules, but the final word would be with individual airlines.
