Overview

• From October 1, passengers may carry only one power bank under 100 watt-hours and it must remain switched off for the entire flight.
• Power banks cannot be used to charge devices or be recharged onboard, and they must be stored in the seat pocket or in a bag under the seat.
• Placement in overhead bins is not allowed, and power banks remain prohibited in checked baggage under existing rules.
• All units must display capacity ratings, with Emirates highlighting thermal runaway risks from damaged or overcharged batteries.
• The policy aligns with moves by major airlines such as Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Korean Air and China Airlines; Emirates offers in-seat power and advises travelers to pre-charge devices.
