German Plane Emergency Due to Fire
A power bank caught fire aboard a Lufthansa airplane traveling from Frankfurt to Lisbon, which led to an unscheduled landing in Lyon, France, on Saturday evening, September 26, 2026. The fire was brought under control thanks to the quick intervention of the cabin crew, and the pilots decided to land in Lyon to ensure safety, declaring an in-flight emergency. The 198 passengers and 6 crew members onboard did not suffer any injuries and were taken to hotels and rebooked on other flights. Since 2026, Lufthansa has tightened its rules regarding the carriage of power banks, allowing only domestic use and prohibiting their use or charging during the flight, with maximum limits on the number of devices and capacity. The exact cause of the battery ignition has not yet been determined.
