"The latest development, set to affect thousands of passengers each year, is Emirates' complete ban on the use of power banks in-flight, along with the accompanying rules. As of Wednesday 1 October, using any kind of power bank onboard is prohibited, following a comprehensive safety review that highlighted a significant increase in lithium battery-related incidents across the wider aviation industry. To mitigate fears, passengers are permitted to carry just one power bank that is under 100 watt-hours"
Emirates has implemented a total ban on the use of power banks onboard flights effective 1 October. The ban follows a safety review citing a rise in lithium battery-related incidents across aviation. Passengers may carry one power bank under 100 watt-hours in the cabin only, with a visible capacity rating and stowed under the seat or in the seat pocket. Portable chargers remain prohibited in hold luggage. Liquid restrictions continue to apply to hand luggage. Food items can also cause issues at security, and the UK has temporary bans on certain food imports from some countries.
