Singapore Airlines has enacted a prohibition on the use and charging of power banks during flights starting April 1, 2025, in response to safety concerns regarding lithium batteries. These devices must be stored in cabin baggage and are not permitted in checked luggage. Passengers can carry power banks under 100Wh without special approval, while those between 100Wh and 160Wh require prior airline consent. This decision follows fire incidents involving power banks, reinforcing the airline's commitment to passenger safety and compliance oversight by trained crew members.
Singapore Airlines announced that starting April 1, 2025, power banks can no longer be charged onboard or used to charge other devices during flights.
The carrier emphasizes that power banks must be carried in cabin baggage and are not allowed in checked luggage, adhering to safety protocols.
Power banks are classified as lithium batteries, which pose a fire risk, leading to stricter regulations amidst incidents such as the recent Air Busan fire.
The airline reassured customers that trained crew members would ensure compliance with these new regulations regarding power bank usage.
