Flew Squeezy-UK last night into GVA. They still do not allow PEDs gate-to-gate. In fact we were over 20 mins out when they told everyone to turn-off.
I was intrigued by the announcement they made just before opening the door. Something like 'airport regulations prohibit the use of mobile telephones until you are in the terminal building'. Really? I have never heard of such regulation and I doubt if airports would be allowed to regulate something like this.
And it does seem to be at odds with those airlines mentioned above that allow telephones to be used on the taxiways.
Is there really such a Regulation?
