\n Flight Radar data showing the flight being diverted to Dublin AAIU<\/p>\n
AAIU\n<\/p>\n
Ireland\u2019s Air Accident Investigation Unit (AAIU) has commenced an investigation into the diversion to Dublin by a Swiss-registered Airbus A330-343 aircraft.<\/p>\n
The AAIU said the plane had reported smoke in the cabin from a portable power bank that had lodged in a passenger seat reclining mechanism.<\/p>\n
There were no injuries reported to the AAIU.<\/p>\n
Most airlines allow two power banks per person, but they must be carried on the passenger\u2019s person or in a cabin bag stowed under the seat in front.<\/p>\n
The power banks must not be stored in the overhead lockers, and they cannot exceed 100Wh.<\/p>\n
However, there are some differences between airlines.<\/p>\n
Ryanair allows power banks to be used to charge personal electronic devices, except during taxi, take-off and landing, or when instructed otherwise by the crew.<\/p>\n
However, Ryanair does not allow power banks to be recharged at any time while on board.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Aer Lingus bans power banks from being either used or charged during flights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A PLANE HAD to divert to Dublin Airport after reports of smoke in the cabin from a portable…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":632024,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[73],"tags":[267099,267100,18049,79,52,26,18,19,17,7190,267101,267102,267103,267104],"class_list":["post-632023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-aaiu","tag-air-accident-investigation-unit","tag-boston","tag-business","tag-dublin","tag-dublin-airport","tag-eire","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-swiss","tag-swiss-air","tag-swizz","tag-swizz-air","tag-zurich-airport"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/117078075807855865","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632023","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=632023"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632023\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/632024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=632023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=632023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=632023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
