SCI London Chapter Pursues Further Clarification From British Airways
"Further to recent press reports regarding the carriage of sporting firearms by passengers transiting the UK on British Airways flights, British Airways has taken advice from the relevant UK government department, BERR and can confirm that it is not required to impose additional restrictions on the list of countries to which sporting firearms can be taken as personal baggage by passengers flying through the UK. Passengers will need to satisfy themselves that they fall within the terms of the UK's Open General Export License for Sporting Guns (http://www.berr.gov.uk/files/file50657.pdf) and as before, there are some prominent hunting countries for which this license cannot be used, including Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia, Croatia, Ethiopia, Iran, FYR Macedonia, Nepal, China, Serbia, Sudan, Uzbekistan, and Zimbabwe." This above paragraph is a verbatim quote from Peter Jones, General Manager Aviation Security of British Airlines in an email correspondence with Safari Club International London Chapter President Abigail Day.
