DGCA warns against carrying older versions of MacBook Pros on flights
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has warned air passengers not to fly with the older generation 15-inch MacBook Pro laptops due to fears that their batteries may overheat and pose a safety risk.
“Consequent upon the recall of a limited number of older generation 15-inch MacBook Pro laptops by Apple Inc (sold primarily between September 2015 and February 2017),” the DGCA has requested flyers not to fly with the affected models either in their handbags or checked-in bags.
The DGCA tweeted that the restrictions will remain in place until the battery has been verified/certified as safe or replaced by the manufacturer.
