Fiji Airways has announced new safety measures regarding the carriage and use of portable power banks on all Fiji Airways and Fiji Link flights, effective January 19th. Passengers will no longer be allowed to use portable power banks on board, and these devices will be entirely banned from checked luggage.
According to the airline’s latest statement, passengers are encouraged to carry portable power banks in their cabin baggage and store them in the seat pocket for easier access, rather than placing them in overhead compartments. This change is part of Fiji Airways’ commitment to maintaining a safe, comfortable, and reliable travel experience while adhering to the highest standards of aviation operations.
Safety is paramount for Fiji Airways, and the decision to implement these measures follows a thorough review of operational protocols concerning portable electronic devices, aligning with the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations. By restricting portable power banks, the airline is taking proactive steps to manage potential risks and adhere to global aviation safety best practices.
Passengers are advised to consult the Fiji Airways website for a comprehensive list of restricted items prior to their flights. Moreover, customers will receive information about these changes during their flight preparations, including check-in and at the terminal, starting January 19, 2026.
This update is part of Fiji Airways’ broader strategy to enhance safety and operational efficiency, reinforcing its reputation as a world-class airline dedicated to the welfare of all passengers. With these proactive measures, Fiji Airways continues to prioritize the safety and security of everyone on board, reflecting its commitment to excellence in aviation.
