Top airline experts reveal new threat onboard flights causing ‘terror in the skies’ | World | News
Experts said that a simple piece of technology, which is vital to run modern devices, may appeal to disaster on flights. Probably when you get on a plane these days, they probably carry at least one mobile phone, but also a tablet and laptop, as well as a series of other electronic equipment.
Nowadays, most technologies have been strengthened with simple rechargeable batteries that make it easier to strengthen devices. However, the substance that constitutes these batteries is quite unstable, although lithium ion is incorrect or damaged. When lithium-ion batteries go wrong, they can explode after entering a condition known as thermal leakage, which means they can heat up to temperatures reaching 900C. In addition to breaking temperatures, fires on the batteries can produce harmful toxic gas clouds.
In recent years, commercial airlines, in recent years, Air France flight in Ghana Air France flight, including a terrible event, including a series of events in recent years to go to the threat of power packages are more vigilant. After a series of flames fired by batteries during flights, most airlines do not allow lithium ion packages to be controlled by holding trunk.
Keith Tonkin, the boss of Australian Consultancy Aviation projects, said that it is better to have the New York Times and that it is better to have devices with passengers in the cabin instead of hiding it in a part of the plane that no one can reach.
He said: “If there is a fire, you prefer it rather than the luggage controlled in the cabin, and you prefer to be closer to a person rather than a fire trash that is more difficult to take it out and manage the fire.”
Hong Kong Aviation Specialist Warren Chim Wing-nin, when he asked the airlines not to put lithium ion power packages in the standby luggage, he said it was important for passengers to comply with the rules, and he warned cheaper less robust products.
“If it is not a good product, the risk will be much higher,” he told the South China Morning Post.
British Airways, Ryanair and Jet2 have certain policies on where and how passengers can carry power banks.
Most airlines do not allow power banks or spare lithium ion batteries to be placed in the controlled baggage due to fire risk. In 2016, the International Civil Aviation Organization banned the cargoes holding passenger planes.
British Airways prohibits the storage of all battery -powered devices in the controlled baggage and requires passengers to carry them in the hand baggage. The airline also recommends that devices should be packaged to prevent accidental activation, while damaged batteries are completely prohibited.
Ryanir follows similar instructions and indicates that power banks should be kept in the transport bags. Jet2 allows passengers to carry up to 20 spare lithium batteries, including power banks, but requires protection of each battery separately to prevent short circuits.
