AirAsia Travel Restrictions on Power Banks
AirAsia Travel Restrictions on Power Banks
We just got this from AirAsia since we will be flying soon. Here are the AirAsia Travel Restrictions on Power Banks that you should know.
This is from the AirAsia’s email notification.
‘AirAsia is dedicated to the safety and comfort of all passengers. To maintain the highest safety standards and reduce risks related to lithium battery incidents, we have implemented strict regulations for the carriage and use of power banks on all AirAsia flights. We kindly request all guests to familiarize themselves with and follow these new regulations.
Effective 1st April 2025, using or charging of power banks irrespective of the power bank’s capacity or certification is strictly prohibited onboard all AirAsia flights.
This restriction applies to all flight phases, including boarding, in-flight, and disembarkation.
- Power Banks are prohibited from being stored in the overhead compartment storage and must be carried on your person or in the seat pocket in front of you.
- These items must be individually packed—either sealed in a plastic or insulated pouch or kept in their original retail packaging to prevent short circuits.
- Items exceeding 100Wh but within 160Wh require airline approval at the check-in counter. Note: Guests departing from South Korea will receive clearance stickers affixed to the items or their pouches by check-in staff.
- All other electronic devices should be switched off before storing them in the overhead compartment.
- Charging and using of power banks on board is strictly prohibited.
- If you notice signs of overheating, swelling, or any unusual symptoms, inform a crew member immediately.
- Power banks are strictly not allowed in checked luggage.
Thank you for your attention. We look forward to welcoming you on board soon!’ – AirAsia Email
This means there could be checks on your powerbank so make sure your powerbank clearly states the actual Wh or mAh.
Do not check in your powerbank and it needed to be individually packed to prevent short circuits.
You must be carried with you and not to be stored in the overhead compartment storage.
