Dubai-based Emirates airlines says the U.S. has exempted it from a ban on laptops in airplane cabins. This follows Abu Dhabi-based Etihad being exempted from the ban. Emirates' Dubai hub has grown into the world's busiest airport for international traffic, in large part thanks to Emirates' expansion. Istanbul-based Turkish Airlines tweeted early Wednesday that it had been exempted from the ban. Saudi Arabian Airlines has said it hopes to be off the ban list "on or before July 19."
