Episode Details

Southwest Airlines introduces new lithium power bank rules to mitigate fire risks, aligning with global guidelines. Passengers can now carry only one per person, stored under-seat or in carry-on, with no in-flight charging via seat power outlets. This move follows a rise in battery incidents, with the FAA logging ninety-seven cases in 2021. Other airlines are expected to follow suit, as Southwest plans to offer in-seat power across its fleet by mid-2027.
