US embassy cable - 05MUSCAT619

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: OMAN: FOLLOW UP ON LIGHTER BAN DEMARCHE 
 
REF: SECSTATE 66181 
 
Econoff phoned Director General of Civil Aviation and 
Meteorology Sultan bin Yarub al-Saifi April 13 to determine 
Oman's reaction to TSA's recent lighter ban.  Al-Saifi 
confirmed that the Omani CAA has passed along all information 
relating to the lighter ban to carriers operating in Oman, as 
well as to the Oman Airport Management Company.  Although 
lighters are not banned on flights in Oman, al-Saifi believed 
it was important for all operators to know about a rule 
change that could affect travel plans, particularly as 
passengers transit Europe en route to the U.S.
