India’s aviation regulator is reviewing global practices on carrying and using power banks onboard flights, amid growing concerns over lithium battery-related fire incidents and increasing restrictions by airlines and regulators worldwide, sources told Business Today TV.
The review comes days after an IndiGo flight at Chandigarh Airport was evacuated after a power bank reportedly caught fire inside the aircraft shortly after landing. Smoke filled the cabin during passenger disembarkation, triggering panic onboard. Airport officials said six passengers sustained minor injuries, while others were evacuated safely.
The incident has renewed scrutiny over the risks posed by lithium-ion batteries during flights, especially inside aircraft cabins, where overheating devices can rapidly become a safety hazard.
