Passengers are allowed to carry one power bank with a capacity of under 100 Watt Hours. However, these devices cannot be used to charge personal devices or themselves during the flight.

Additionally, power banks must be stored in seat pockets or bags under the seat, and are not permitted in checked luggage.

These regulations aim to enhance safety and ensure that cabin crew can respond quickly in the rare event of a fire. Emirates’ decision reflects a growing concern over lithium battery-related incidents in the aviation industry.
