Germany's flag carrier Lufthansa has announced new restrictions on the carriage of power banks and battery packs on board its aircraft, following pressure from airlines to tighten rules after several fires caused by the devices.
Leading the charge in Europe, Lufthansa has amended its policy to restrict the use of these devices during flights. Effective immediately, passengers on board may no longer charge their devices via their infotainment systems or use the batteries to charge their personal devices.
