Briefing
Effective 1 October 2025, Emirates prohibits using or recharging power banks onboard and limits carried units to under 100 Wh, citing a rise in lithium‑battery incidents — a direct operational safety policy with clear technical thresholds.
The airline requires power banks be stowed under the seat or in the seat pocket (not in checked baggage) and notes in‑seat charging is available on all aircraft, altering passenger charging behaviour and carry‑on handling at Dubai and across its network.
