Bamboo Airways Announcement on Carrying and Using Electronic Charging Devices with Lithium Batteries on Flights
In accordance with Directive No. 1027/CT-CHK dated February 26, 2025, issued by the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam regarding enhanced aviation safety measures, and based on risk assessments related to lithium battery fire incidents on international flights in early 2025, Bamboo Airways is implementing stricter measures to identify and promptly address potential hazards caused by short circuits and fires involving electronic charging devices containing lithium batteries. Specific measures are as follows:
1. Passengers must strictly comply with lithium battery device control regulations
Passengers must fully adhere to the regulations of the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam regarding the control of items containing lithium batteries, as outlined in Decision No. 1541/QĐ-CHK dated September 14, 2021. These regulations have been incorporated into Bamboo Airways' transportation policies and are published on the airline's official website, as well as at ticket counters and check-in counters at airports.
2. Regulations on carrying power banks on flights
Before boarding, passengers are required to proactively remove power banks from their carry-on luggage.
Onboard, passengers must keep power banks on their person or place them in a safe and easily visible location near their seat, ensuring they do not obstruct aisles or emergency exits.
The use of power banks or charging of electronic devices during the flight is strictly prohibited.
3. Handling abnormal situations
In the event of unusual temperature changes in a power bank or any device containing a lithium battery on board, passengers must immediately inform the flight attendants for necessary and timely action to ensure flight safety.
Bamboo Airways is not liable for any inconvenience or baggage loss (if any) resulting from emergency measures taken in accordance with regulations to address incidents involving lithium battery-powered items.
Bamboo Airways sincerely informs all passengers and appreciates your cooperation in ensuring the safety of all passengers and flights, as well as in complying with aviation safety directives from Vietnamese and international authorities.
Sincerely,
Bamboo Airways
