Last Saturday, 24 February, a power bank explosion aboard a Thai AirAsia flight caused panic among passengers
According to Bangkok Post, the incident occurred on Thai AirAsia flight FD3188 during its journey from Bangkok to Nakhon Si Thammarat.
Thailand's Industry Minister Pimphattra Wichaikul was among the 186 passengers on the flight who witnessed the explosion, which filled the cabin with smoke, reported Thaiger.
A two-minute video published by Daily Mail shows passengers attempting to distance themselves from the power bank as onboard technicians rush to the seat to inspect it.
It is understood that the power bank was placed in a seat's pouch before the explosion, reported New York Post.
The fire was extinguished within two minutes, and the flight landed safely with no injuries reported among the passengers
"The trained flight attendants brought fire extinguishers to quickly deal with the fire caused by the power bank," said an AirAsia spokesperson.
Meanwhile, the Airports of Thailand (AOT) said the explosion was due to the substandard quality of the power bank, reported Bangkok Post.
AOT director Kirati Kijmanawat stated that no one was to blame for the incident, as both the passenger who owned the power bank and the AOT staff members followed the guidelines and regulations for bringing or allowing such devices onto a flight.
He mentioned that passengers are not allowed to leave their power banks in their checked-in luggage and must carry them with themselves when flying. Additionally, the capacity of the power bank must not exceed 30,000mAh.

Turkish Airlines dari KL ke Istanbul kena carry on. Dari Istanbul ke Heathrow laptop kena check in, power bank kena tinggal kat airport. That was before covid.

Benda ni tarak kena mengena atau depending pada air line...masa check in luggage kalau ada power bank ka laptop ka dlm tu mmg akan kena tahan dan diasingkan...depa akan asingkan pastu panggil passenger tu utk keluarkan...so ini mmg sop airport
boleh bawa, biasanya power bank dgn bateri laptop kena bawak hand carry tak boleh masuk skali dgn checked luggage tu tp ada restriction jugak depends dgn flight. yg kes ni mmg dia bawa skali hand carry kan tp mebe brg cap ayam
power bank lepas eh hand carry kalau AA? aku dah bertahun tak naik AA ni. airlines yg biasa aku naik rasa mcm tak boleh hand carry power bank / motorized luggage. actually irrelevant pon nak carry power bank, kat seat ada usb charge
Ada lagi ker orang bawak power bank??
Kat airport mana mana pun bersepah dah charging outlet, kat KLIA2 tu ada satu cafe tu every table disediakan charging port, kat boarding hall mostly airport sediakan USB kat seats untuk charge HP. Lepas tu bila masuk dalam plane, kat seat pun ada In Seat Power untuk HP, tablet and laptop.
HP pun sekarang ni batt last longer and charge up very fast.
