In order to avoid any problems during the flight, it is necessary to know in advance which items can be transported and which cannot. After all, there are many restrictions regarding, for example, drugs, various fluids and weapons.
The rules governing the carriage of baggage were not invented by airport workers. They are installed for all, without exception, passenger air transportation. The purpose of this restriction is one - security. And before you go on a trip or on business, you need to see if all of what is in the suitcase will be allowed to carry on board the aircraft.
Airguns: to take or not to take?
Quite often, at the airport, difficulties arise precisely with the transportation of weapons, and not only gunshot, cold, but also pneumatic, as well as mock-ups and children's toys imitating different types of weapons. To prevent this from happening, you need to know that the transportation of airguns, as well as firearms, cold weapons and antiques in the cabin is not allowed. Airguns and pistols can only be carried out as baggage or cargo. In this case, the prior permission of the carrier is required.
A passenger who wishes to carry pneumatic weapons must arrive at the airport well in advance of check-in. He must declare the availability of weapons and his intentions during registration at the counter, when filling out a customs declaration, or when passing security controls. After that, a law enforcement officer or from the airport security service will be invited to the counter.
They will check the permits and accept the weapons for transportation, issuing documents for him. Permits are required for pneumatic weapons, the muzzle energy of which is more than 7.5 J. If the muzzle energy is from 3 to 7.5 J, permission from law enforcement agencies to carry such weapons is not required. In the event that the muzzle energy of a pneumatic weapon does not reach 3 J, the product does not belong to a weapon, but is considered structurally similar. But in all cases, the rules for transporting airguns are the same.
