Thai airlines impose restrictions on in-flight use of power banks

The move comes as several international airlines, notably in South Korea and Taiwan, have implemented stricter measures, including bans on charging power banks in-flight and restrictions on overhead storage. 

CAAT and Thai airlines continue to emphasise the importance of verifying power bank capacity and condition before travel.

AirAsia has also implemented a policy to bar the charging of devices with power banks during flights. Their regulations stipulate that power banks must be carried in hand luggage, have clear capacity labels, be in good condition and comply with IATA safety standards.
