Senior executives of Samsung today met officials of aviation regulator - Director General of Civil Aviation -two days after one of the company's high-end smartphones caught fire inside an IndiGo aircraft.
During the meeting, which lasted for more than an hour, the watchdog sought technical details about Galaxy Note series amid concerns that the batteries of some of the devices were catching fire and could explode on their own.
On September 23, a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 caught fire inside an IndiGo aircraft coming from Singapore during landing at the Chennai airport. Following the incident, which was the first of its kind involving a Samsung Galaxy Note on board an aircraft in India, the DGCA had summoned the company's officials for a meeting.
The incident happened within a fortnight of the regulator prohibiting the use of Galaxy Note 7 on board following a series of cases of the smartphone's battery exploding in various countries. This model is yet to be launched in the Indian market.
