KUALA LUMPUR, March 22 — Malaysia Airlines will implement new rules on carrying power banks onboard starting April 1, 2025, as stated on its website.

Passengers traveling with Malaysia Airlines, Firefly, and MASwings must keep power banks with them at all times and are not allowed to store them in overhead compartments. Power banks can only be placed in carry-on bags under the seat or in the seat pocket in front.

Magnetic wireless charging power banks must be stored in a separate bag or protective pouch to prevent accidental activation.

The airline has also banned the charging or use of power banks during flights. Additionally, power banks and spare lithium-ion batteries are not permitted in checked baggage.

Malaysia Airlines stated that these measures are being introduced to enhance flight safety.
