The Trump administration has lifted a ban on electronics larger than smartphones in the cabin for passengers traveling from Dubai and Istanbul to the U.S., CNN reported.

"Emirates has been working hard in coordination with various aviation stakeholders and the local authorities to implement heightened security measures and protocols that meet the requirements of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's new security guidelines for all U.S. bound flights," the Dubai-based airline said in a statement, according to the network.

Turkish Airlines tweeted: "#WelcomeOnBoard to our U.S.-bound flight. Please fasten your seatbelts and enjoy your own electronic devices."

Earlier this month, the administration lifted its ban on laptops in cabins on flights from Abu Dhabi to the U.S.

The U.S. had banned laptops on flights coming from 10 different airports in Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Turkey in March.

The U.S. does not have jurisdictions over foreign airports but does have authority over airlines that have direct U.S.-bound flights.

The Department of Homeland Security announced last week that the U.S. would be unveiling new aviation security measures for all international flights entering the country, instead of implementing the laptop ban.
