Starting October 1, 2025, Emirates will ban the in-flight use and charging of power banks to reduce fire risks linked to lithium-ion batteries. Passengers may carry one power bank under 100Wh in their carry-on, but usage is strictly prohibited. The move aligns with global safety trends following incidents involving battery overheating and underscores Emirates’ commitment to onboard safety.
