Cayman Airways banning use of portable chargers
Cayman Airways is banning the use of power banks and portable battery chargers on board its planes as of 17 Feb. 2026.
The national carrier said it was prompted to prohibit such equipment following an increase in aircraft cabin fires across the global aviation industry involving lithium battery-powered devices.
Despite the incoming ban, passengers will still be allowed to travel with chargers and power banks, but they must be powered off while on board the aircraft. For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
