Korean Authorities Amend Regulations on Carry-On Batteries and E-Cigarettes
Air Busan has prohibited the storage of mobile batteries and similar items in the overhead compartments on its flights.
Items affected include auxiliary or spare batteries, lighters, and matches.
In a fire incident involving an Air Busan aircraft at Busan’s Gimhae International Airport on January 28, it was reported that a mobile battery stored in the overhead compartment by a passenger was the likely source of the fire, although authorities are still investigating the cause.
