United NigeriaAirlines bans power bank use on flights
United Nigeria Airlines has issued a safety directive prohibiting power banks from being used or charged onboard its aircraft. The airline mandates that all power banks must be carried in hand baggage only, with a maximum of two devices per passenger and each device limited to 100 watt-hours. Passengers are also instructed to keep power banks visible and accessible throughout the journey, with strict prohibition in checked luggage and overhead compartments. The directive aligns with Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) regulations and international standards from the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) regarding lithium battery safety. These measures address fire risks from overheating devices during flights. Will you comply with these power bank restrictions on your next flight?
