No, it's the FAA's rule. See http://www.faa.gov/passengers/fly_safe/information/:
"Electronics on Board Laptops and other personal electronic devices (PEDs) such as hand-held computer games and tape or CD players are also restricted to use above 10,000 feet owing to concerns they could interfere with aircraft instrumentation" It is a U.S. rule, so airlines can feel free to ignore if the flight isn't taking off or landing in the U.S.. |
