IATA Sets New Rules on Power Banks From January 2027
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has issued new updates to regulations, shipping certificates, and ground services related to the aviation sector, which are set to become effective starting January 1, 2027. The updates include strict procedures concerning batteries, particularly lithium batteries and power banks. Passengers and crew are permitted to carry up to two power banks with a maximum capacity of 100 watt-hours in carry-on luggage, with a ban on recharging them during the flight. Additionally, the allowed number of spare batteries has been reduced from 20 to 18, though this number can be increased with the approval of airlines. The procedures also introduce enhanced packaging safety standards and increased fire risk assessment measures for batteries exceeding 300 watt-hours in capacity. These modifications aim to improve safety and efficiency in shipping operations and ground services by developing digital tools for automatic compliance verification, thereby reducing errors and delays in air cargo and logistics processes.
