FAA clears
carry-on
coffee cups
WASHINGTON (AP) — Carry-
on coffee has been cleared for take
off.
The Federal Aviation Adminis
tration (FAA) said Wednesday that
passengers can keep the cups of
coffee they have carried onto air
liners despite rules saying that car-
ry-on items must be put away.
The decision came after a flight
attendant for Alaska Airlines com
plained that the FAA inspector
overseeing the West Coast carrier
was forcing it to collect carry-on
coffee cups out of concerns that
passengers could be splashed with
hot liquid if a plane made a sudden
stop.
Inspectors overseeing Alaska’s
competitors, especially those fly
ing out of a coffee hot spot such
as Seattle, did not have the same
rule — prompting complaints of
unfairness. That triggered an
agency review of the consistency
and common sense of some rul
ings.
In a memorandum being sent to
the agency’s airline inspectors,
Nick Lacey, head of flight standards
for the FAA, said passengers could
keep their coffee.
The agency will also write to air
lines saying they may want to eval
uate their preflight routine so flight
attendants are given an opportuni
ty to ask passengers if they want to
discard any carry-on items before
take-off, FAA spokesperson Alison
Duquette said.
Still under review is the agency’s
policy regarding glassware, Du
quette said. Some U.S. carriers
have complained that they are at a
disadvantage with foreign counter
parts because the FAA requires
them to collect all glassware before
a plane begins taxiing.
When it comes to
choices.
