ASL can confirm that it’s airlines, including ASL Ireland, ASL Belgium and ASL France, did not carry munitions or ITAR on any flight to Israel since our commitment not to do so last November.
We continue to monitor all flights to Israel and are confident that no such items are being transported on our flights to Israel.
In response to staff concerns we reviewed our network flights last week. We established that some shipments that caused concern actually related to intra-European flights between Paris, France and Cologne, Germany, that are part of our European network. We can confidently say that there were no declarations made under the relevant regulations with regard to these shipments and as such, no munitions were carried on these flights.
We did carry dangerous goods on flights on this route last week. Dangerous goods include many categories of shipment that are labelled hazardous items for flight including flammable, corrosive or toxic items. Such items are carefully packed and segregated for safety reasons.
