Power bank fire prompts emergency landing
Lufthansa announced that it was forced to divert its flight from Frankfurt to Lisbon to the city of Lyon, France, after a power bank battery ignited onboard one of its Airbus A321-200 aircraft during the flight, which was carrying 198 passengers. No injuries were reported. The crew explained that they responded quickly to the incident and kept the battery in a designated lithium battery bag. The captain decided to change the route as a precautionary measure to ensure safety. The airline confirmed that the safety of passengers and crew members was the top priority. Since January, they have banned the use or charging of external batteries onboard their aircraft, allowing only two batteries to be carried in the cabin under safety conditions.
