Tot mai multe incendii în avioane sunt provocate de un obiect pe care milioane de pasageri îl au în bagaj

The aviation industry is increasingly concerned about lithium battery incidents, prompting stricter regulations for their transport. Data shows nearly two incidents occur weekly, with a significant event in January 2025 leading to global rule changes. Passengers can now carry a maximum of two external batteries, each up to 100 Wh, only in hand luggage. The rise in incidents is attributed to more electronic devices on board, with a notable increase from nine incidents in 2014 to 97 in 2025. Experts emphasize the importance of keeping batteries close to passengers for early detection of issues, as fires in confined spaces are harder to manage.
