Ausgelöst durch das Feuer an Board von Air Busan am 28. Januar 2025 Accident: Busan A321 at Busan on Jan 28th 2025, fire during departure preparations führen gewisse Airlines Beschränkungen für Powerbanks an Bord von Flugzeugen ein.

Airlines begin banning the onboard use of ‘Power-banks’

Das wird sich in Zukunft auch auf andere Airlines ausweiten!

Quote

Eva Air, Korean Air and Asiana will all totally ban the use of Powerbanks on all aircraft from the coming March and it seems likely that more airlines will soon follow.

Quote

While Eva Air’s new rules continue to permit them as carry-on items, you will no longer be allowed to connect the power bank to your phone or tablet during the flight or plug in the battery pack to charge prior to landing.

Quote

Similar, yet tougher rules will apply on Korean Air and Asiana from mid month when additionally lithium power banks and even e-cigarettes won’t be allowed in overhead luggage bins or on-board baggage. They will need “to avoid metal to metal contact” to be placed in the clear plastic bag provided at check-in and placed in the seat pocket and not moved to overhead bins or baggage.

All use of these devises aboard the aircraft will be (from mid March) specifically prohibited.

Quote from Axel S.

Die Frage ist, wie sie das kontrollieren wollen. [it's recommended …].
Was soll das heißen – empfohlen?
Wenn es nur eine "Empfehlung" ist, dann ist es ja nicht verboten?
Die Airlines/Flight Attendants "Saftschubsen" werden ja wohl kaum das Handgepäck durchsuchen (dürfen).

In China wird genauestens auf die Kapazität geschaut und wenn zu viele oder zu große Powerbanks im Carry-on sind die wandern den Abfall!

In China wird genauestens auf die Kapazität geschaut und wenn zu viele oder zu große Powerbanks im Carry-on sind die wandern den Abfall!

Der tatsächliche Ladezustand wird aber nirgends überwacht oder kontrolliert oder?

Würde es nicht zusätzliche Sicherheit bringen, wenn man hier vorgaben machen würde (falls es überhaupt praktikabel wäre, dass zu prüfen (weis nicht wie viele immer eine Powerbank dabei haben))?

Und wie lange will man/n dann an der Sicherheitskontrolle stehen?

Und wie lange will man/n dann an der Sicherheitskontrolle stehen?

Es gäbe da sicher verschiedene Möglichkeiten, dass umzusetzten und den Aufwand gering zu halten. Haben ja auch nicht alle eine Powerbank dabei. Und wenn man es einführen würde, würde es sich auch irgendwann einpendeln wie beim Gepäck: XX Kilo pro Koffer, so dass kein entladen mehr nötig sein würde

In China ist alles "eingependelt" und dort kann man schon mal 30 Minuten warten bis man/n drankommt und die "filzen" sehr genau!

Deshalb werden immer Lösungen gesucht, die weniger Kontrolle brauchen

Quote from heirip

Das ist keine technische Entscheidung, sondern eine politische. Wieviel

" Zwischenfälle " sind tolerierbar ? Gar keine ? Also komplett verbieten.

Oder einer pro Million Paxe ? Oder mehr oder weniger ?

Oder kostenpflichtige Mitnahme als Gefahrengut ?

Da gibt es viele Möglichkeiten.

In Business Jets hat die Crew einige feuerfeste Tüten wie auch Decken, die im Falle eines elektrischen oder chemischen Feuers eingesetzt werden.

Vielleich wird man in Zukunft nur noch Powerbanks in diesen Beutel an Bord nehmen dürfen? Würde mich nicht wundern!

So und schon hat CAAP nachgezogen

Caap mulls restrictions on transport of gadgets

Quote

Caap spokesman Eric Apolonio said that Flight Operations Manager James Conner explained during a radio interview on Tuesday morning that the agency is now coordinating with airlines on how to educate passengers on the proper transport of the said dangerous goods in hand carry bags placed in an overhead compartment inside the aircraft.

Quote

“We will educate our passengers in coordination with the airlines that laptops, cellular phones and power banks will no longer allowed to be placed in hand-carry bags, it will be allowed only ‘hand holding‘during the entire flight so that airline cabin crew will not have a hard time locating the said gadget if something happened,” Conner said.

Quote

Conner said that Caap allows the use of transmitting portable electronic devices, specially laptops and cellular telephones, as well as including MP3 and GSMOBA gadgets, on a conditional basis, on all commercial aircraft operating within or enroute over territorial jurisdiction of the Republic of the Philippines.

Quote

Conner explained that when aircraft doors are still open, laptops and cellular telephones may be used. Internet or short message-service (SMS) or voice communication is allowed, unless the pilot-in-command announced on the public address system its prohibition. In no case shall laptops using broadband communications and cellular telephones be allowed or used when the aircraft is re-fueling, in this instance, all transmitting portable electronic devices must be turned-off.

CAAP reminds travelers: Power banks exceeding 160Wh not allowed on flights

Quote

Flight Operations Department head Captain James Conner noted that while these were isolated cases, they serve as reminders for passengers to follow rules on the devices.

CAAP regulations state that power banks are not allowed in checked baggage as they're at risk of overheating. The devices are still permitted in hand-carry luggage.

However, there are limits to its battery capacity. For instance, passengers can bring up to 100Wh or 27,027.03mAh power banks without prior approval. Those who wish to bring 100Wh to 160Wh need approval from the airline before they're allowed on the aircraft.

Quote

At Cebu Pacific, a passenger is allowed a maximum of two power banks, each not exceeding 100Wh and packed individually.

Philippine Airlines also allows passengers to carry up to two 100 to 160Wh battery packs with airline approval.

Und schon hat man sich Korea angepasst:

CAAP prohibits power banks exceeding 160Wh on planes

CAAP Press Release

March 5, 2025

Pasay City – The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) is working closely with airlines to develop an awareness policy and guidelines aimed at educating passengers on the proper handling of dangerous dry goods during air travel.

This initiative seeks to enhance information dissemination and ensure that travelers are well-informed about regulations concerning hazardous materials, including power banks and other items.

In a radio interview, Flight Operations Department (FOD) head Captain James Conner addressed concerns following recent aviation incidents where power banks were suspected of causing fires on board aircraft.

He emphasized that these were isolated cases but serve as a reminder of the importance of adhering to aviation safety regulations.

Captain Conner reiterated the need for passengers to strictly follow airline-imposed safety protocols to prevent similar incidents.

Under CAAP regulations, power banks, classified as portable lithium-ion battery devices, are strictly prohibited in checked baggage due to the risk of overheating and potential fire hazards. However, passengers may carry them in their hand-carry luggage, subject to the following restrictions:

•Power banks up to 100Wh (watt-hours) may be brought onboard without prior approval.

• Power banks between 100Wh and 160Wh require airline approval before being carried onboard.

•Power banks exceeding 160Wh are strictly prohibited on flights.

CAAP strongly urges travelers to check the capacity of their power banks and comply with airline policies before flying to avoid any inconvenience.

The agency, together with the Department of Transportation under the leadership of Secretary Vince Dizon, remains committed to upholding international aviation safety standards to ensure the protection of all passengers and crew.
