Overview
- Effective October 1, passengers may carry only one power bank up to 100 Wh in cabin baggage, and it must remain switched off for the entire flight.
- Using power banks onboard is not allowed, including charging personal devices from them or recharging the power bank via the aircraft’s power supply.
- Accepted devices must display a visible capacity rating and be stowed under the seat or in the seat pocket, not in overhead bins or checked baggage.
- Flydubai aligns with Emirates’ policy, adding guidance to use original packaging or a protective case to prevent short circuits or accidental activation.
- Emirates says the changes follow a safety review under rules that permit stricter airline policies, and it advises travelers to charge devices before boarding.
