Airlines and overseas airports will struggle to meet deadlines for implementing broad new security requirements on flights to the U.S., airline industry groups and consultants say.
Airports have a short timeline to comply with a few of the directives the Department of Homeland Security issued this week, according to a memo from the International Air Transport Association to its members. Some technology and even bomb-sniffing dogs required under the measures aren't readily available in each of the 280 airports affected.
