MUSICIAN’S UNION SLAMS AIRPORT SECURITY MEASURES
The British Musician’s Union has attacked new security measures at airports for causing “significant loss of earnings”.
Following the foiled terrorist plot to blow up 10 planes on 10 August (06), tough procedures have been put into place at British airports - which means instruments cannot be taken on as hand luggage.
Worried performers who do not trust aircraft holds to carry their fragile instruments, have been forced to break contracts abroad.
KRISTINA ALJINOVIC, managing director of Specialised travel, says, “You cannot expect clients with instruments worth up to £3 million ($5.5 million) to part with them. People are prepared to submit themselves to extra screening.”
