BOSTON - Have you ever wondered if you can take that fingernail polish remover onboard an aircraft? Or that can of butane lighter fluid to refill your cigarette lighter?
American Airlines, American Eagle, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will kick off an educational program to answer those questions, and more, with the unveiling of a new dangerous goods education "Know Before You Go" kiosk at Boston Logan International Airport. The kiosk complements the hazardous materials kiosk on display at American's cargo terminal in Boston. The focus of the program is to make sure the traveling public is aware of rules and regulations regarding hazardous and dangerous goods.
This joint effort with the FAA is part of an educational campaign at key cities across AA's system. American now has information kiosks in airport terminals at San Juan, Miami, Chicago O'Hare, New York Kennedy, New York LaGuardia and San Jose, California. In cooperation with the FAA, others will be displayed in Los Angeles and San Francisco later this year. American also has education kiosks in cargo facilities at New York Kennedy, San Francisco, San Jose and Boston, with others planned for San Juan, Puerto Rico, Los Angeles, Dallas/Fort Worth, Miami, and Chicago O'Hare airports.
American Airlines is the first airline to install dangerous goods kiosks in the New England area and at the Boston Logan International Airport. Dangerous goods and hazardous materials regulations are strictly enforced at all American and American Eagle cities throughout the system.
