Several South Korean airlines have introduced a ban on the in-flight use of power banks as part of enhanced onboard safety measures.
The restriction is aimed at reducing the risk of lithium-ion battery overheating and potential fire hazards during flights. While passengers may still be permitted to carry approved power banks in their hand luggage, using or charging devices through them during the flight is no longer allowed.
Lithium-ion batteries, commonly found in portable chargers, have been linked to safety incidents globally due to overheating or short-circuit risks. Aviation authorities and airlines continue to tighten regulations around battery-powered devices to prevent onboard incidents.
The move aligns with broader international efforts to improve flight safety standards and ensure stricter compliance with battery transport regulations.
Passengers traveling with South Korean carriers are advised to review updated safety guidelines before departure to avoid inconvenience during boarding or in flight.
