Power Bank Ban: Will Rosaviatsiya Ban Charging Gadgets During Flights?
Volume~$59
YES chance
DescriptionRosaviatsiya is considering the possibility of imposing an official ban on the use of portable batteries (power banks) on board aircraft during flights. This comes in the wake of an investigation into an incident in which a device caught fire in the cabin of a Ural Airlines flight. This does not involve confiscating the devices (passengers will still be allowed to carry them in their carry-on luggage), but rather their use in the passenger seat: passengers may be prohibited from connecting their phones to power banks for the duration of the flight. Airlines are concerned about the challenges of enforcement, but the priority of safety could lead to the implementation of this measure by the start of the peak vacation season. Will an official directive be issued by the end of May?
ConditionsYes: if, by May 31, 2026, Rosaviatsiya issues an official order, directive, or mandatory recommendation to airlines prohibiting passengers from using power banks during flights.
No: if, by May 31, 2026, inclusive, such a ban is not officially implemented and the rules regarding the use of rechargeable batteries on board remain unchanged.
