Lufthansa tightens rules for carriage of power banks inside the cabin | Euronews

Germany's Lufthansa has tightened its rules on carrying power banks inside the cabin on its flights, following a fire caused by a power bank on a South Korean Air Busan aircraft in January 2025. Passengers are now limited to two power banks per flight, with a maximum capacity of 100 watt hours. Charging devices via the plane's infotainment systems is banned, and power banks must be worn on the person or stowed in hand luggage. Larger battery packs require prior approval from Lufthansa. The changes are in response to a fire that injured 27 people and caused extensive damage to an Air Busan aircraft.
