Calum @zootm.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Yeah I think the restrictions on sizes are global but I don’t recall ever having had someone make a point of it. I only have a little baby power bank though, maybe they just laugh at me as it goes past. 010
Calum @zootm.bsky.social · 27/09/2026More seriously it seems the ICAO (international) guidance recommends against using them to charge in flight but does not prohibit it: www.icao.int/filebrowser/... I guess I’d be expecting to see this get more strict everywhere over time.icao.int 110
Calum @zootm.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The flight I learned about this rule on was also SAS! Given their sideline as special forces maybe the aggro is understandable 110
Calum @zootm.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Actually no here’s EASA guidance saying you shouldn’t use them: www.easa.europa.eu/en/downloads... As I understand it there have been a lot of on board fires but I really thought this was something people decided globally 😅easa.europa.eu 110
Calum @zootm.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I have just been reading up about this and it seems like it might be an airline specific thing? 200
Calum @zootm.bsky.social · 27/09/2026On planes? There was some kind of additional limit put on power banks recently where you can’t use them in flight, but I’ve only actually seen that limit in a flight to the US so I thought it was international 😅 000
Calum @zootm.bsky.social · 27/09/2026This is amazingly enigmatic, I’ve not encountered a transatlantic divide on power banks specifically 100
