The news of the crash of a plane going from ahmedabad airport to london has shocked everyone. The investigation of the accident is going on, but after this incident it has become even more important to pay attention to the safety rules during air travel. It is often seen that people carry some such electronic devices with them without information, which can prove to be dangerous for the plane.
Here we are talking about 4 such gadgets, which are considered against the rules to carry or use in an airplane. Let us know which are these devices and why they can become a danger to air travel.
1. High capacity power bank (more than 27000 mAh)
Power bank has become a necessity for everyone nowadays, but it has a limit in air travel. If your power bank is more than 27000 mAh, then carrying it can be risky. There is a risk of fire in the plane due to such a high capacity battery. This can affect the security system of the aircraft. Power banks up to normal 10000 mAh or 20000 mAh are usually allowed, but it is better to avoid devices with higher capacity than that.
2. E-cigarettes and vape devices
Carrying or using e-cigarettes and vaping devices in the plane are both considered dangerous. They contain liquid nicotine as well as lithium batteries, which can cause blasts or fire when the temperature rises. Some airlines allow them to be carried in cabin bags, but their use during the flight is completely prohibited. Therefore, it is better to leave them before the journey.
3. Smart bags whose battery does not come out
Nowadays, such bags have come in the market which have smart features like charging port, GPS and weighing. But if the lithium battery in them cannot be removed, then it is prohibited to carry such bags as check-in luggage. Because if the bag is kept in the cargo and there is some problem with the battery, then an accident can happen. If the battery can be removed, then it is safe to take it out and take it with you in the cabin.
4. Other unknown battery-operated gadgets
Many times we carry such gadgets which have small but high-power batteries, like some cameras, drones, or hand heaters. Carrying them without checking can create problems in airport security. If these devices get activated unknowingly, then they can affect the technical system of the aircraft.
