Airlines Ban Large Power Banks on Flights
Update: 2025-11-29
Description
Airlines in Australia are tightening their rules on carrying portable power banks due to safety concerns. Virgin Australia and Qantas have implemented new energy limits and accessibility requirements for these devices. The changes come after several incidents, including a fire caused by a power bank on a Virgin Australia flight. Experts warn that while power banks are not inherently prone to catching fire, the consequences of such an event on an airplane are severe. Airlines have now banned devices with a maximum capacity greater than one hundred and sixty watt hours. Travelers are advised to check their specific airlines policy and board with fully charged devices and charging cords.
