Emirates announced that from October 2025 passengers will be prohibited from using power banks on board flights due to safety concerns over lithium-ion battery overheating. While passengers can still carry them in hand luggage, charging devices with power banks during flights will no longer be allowed. The decision follows several global incidents of battery fires in cabins, prompting airlines to tighten rules. Emirates says the measure is temporary and under review as it works with regulators on safer solutions. The policy underscores the airline’s prioritization of safety despite potential inconvenience to travelers.
