One of the world’s largest airlines has set the record straight on its policy for Apple AirTags, capping several days of confusion over whether the carrier was in fact banning the coin-size tracking device that some travelers have turned to for monitoring their checked luggage.
German airline Lufthansa on Wednesday clarified its policy, saying in a statement that German aviation authorities had agreed with its risk assessment that tracking devices such as AirTags pose no safety risk.
“These devices are allowed on Lufthansa flights,” Lufthansa concluded.
It was unclear when the airline’s risk assessment took place. The company did not respond to questions Wednesday about the AirTags policy, including why four days ago it was miscommunicated in tweets from its verified Twitter account.
