Overview

• Each passenger may bring one power bank under 100 watt-hours in cabin baggage.
• Devices must be stored in a seat pocket or under-seat bag and cannot go in overhead bins or checked luggage.
• The rules keep power banks within reach of cabin crew to ensure swift action in case of thermal runaway.
• The policy follows a safety review and a spike in lithium battery incidents including the January Air Busan fire.
• Major airlines such as Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways and Southwest have already tightened power bank restrictions.
