Fiji Airways has implemented new safety protocols regarding portable power banks on its flights, effective January 19th. Passengers will be prohibited from using these devices during the flight, and they will also be banned from checked luggage.
In a recent statement, the airline recommended that travelers keep 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 adjustment is part of Fiji Airways’ dedication to providing a safe, comfortable, and reliable travel experience while adhering to the highest standards of aviation operations.
The airline prioritizes safety and made this decision following an extensive review of its operational protocols related to portable electronic devices, in line with the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations. By restricting the use of portable power banks, Fiji Airways is proactively addressing potential safety risks and aligning with global aviation safety best practices.
Passengers are encouraged to check the Fiji Airways website for a detailed list of restricted items before their flights. Furthermore, information about these new measures will be provided during flight preparations, check-in, and at the terminal starting January 19, 2026.
These updates reflect Fiji Airways’ broader commitment to enhancing safety and operational efficiency, reinforcing its position as a world-class airline devoted to passenger welfare. With these proactive steps, Fiji Airways emphasizes its dedication to the safety and security of all individuals aboard, showcasing its commitment to excellence in aviation.
