Check your baggage!
An airline has encountered the first ban on loading energy banks in the upper bins.
Air Busanâ will no longer allow mobile charges to be stored there after a fire that destroyed a passenger plane was allegedly lit by a lithium battery, Revers reported.
Lithium batteries, a type of rechargeable battery often found on laptops and power banks, are prohibited from being placed in controlled bags as they can ignite flames, according to aviation safety rules.
The South Korean budget line will now inspect all the carriage luggage at the dormitory gates to ensure that energy banks are not set in the upper deposit.
Passengers will now be instructed to carry the travel charges with them, so any possible overheating, smoke or fire will be observed in a more time.
There has been an investigation into the cause of flames that included planes last week, but officials have not yet announced a certain cause.
Air Busan will also increase crew fire training and fire content equipment on board planes.
The last fire happened as the aircraft was preparing for departure to Hong Kong, and a flight doctor noticed the flames coming from the upper storage area.
Everyone on board were safely evacuated.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has raised concerns about lithium batteries after the organization highlighted a 388% fire of fires caused by equipment over the last decade.
Three incidents that include extreme heat, smoke or fire caused by lithium batteries have already been reported this year.
A new report from â UL Standard â has announced the risk they may pose to air travel.
â € œDevices that contain these batteries should not be stored in the controlled luggage, ”the report recalled the passengers.
“Instead, keeping all lithium-ion battery equipment within the arm reaching can significantly reduce the risk of an incident.”
