Foreign airlines ban some MacBook Pro models on India flights
New Delhi: Foreign airlines with flights to India have begun implementing American and European aviation regulators ban on carrying some models of Apple’s Mac-Book Pro onboard — either in check-in or cabin bag — due to risk of battery fires. The DGCA is also examining this latest fear in the skies and may ban affected models of MacBook Pro on board airlines.
Apple had recently announced a recall of a limited number of older generation 15-inch MacBook Pro models sold primarily between September 2015 and February 2017 due to fears that batteries may overheat and catch fire. After Apple’s warning, earlier this month the EU Aviation Safety Agency and USFAA asked airlines to take steps accordingly.
