With on-board incidents on the rise, more and more airlines are deciding to ban the use of power bank battery packs in their aircraft cabins. Others are opting for strict conditions of use.
In view of the fire risks associated with the use of lithium battery power banks, several airlines have decided to ban their use and charging on board their fleets. The most recent, Thai Airways, has announced that this measure will come into force on March 15, 2025. From that date onwards, it will still be possible to carry them in the cabin, but no longer to use them.
