Fiji Airways and Fiji Link are implementing new safety measures regarding portable power banks that will take effect on January 19th. The updated policy prohibits the use of portable power banks onboard flights and bans them entirely from checked luggage.
According to a recent statement from the airline, passengers are permitted to carry power banks only in their cabin baggage. They have been advised to store these devices in the seat pocket for easy access, instead of placing them in overhead compartments. This precaution aims to enhance safety and ensure a more comfortable travel experience for guests.
Fiji Airways emphasizes that safety is their utmost priority. The decision to update the policy follows a thorough review of operational protocols concerning portable electronic accessories, consistent with the guidelines set forth by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) regarding dangerous goods.
By enforcing these restrictions on portable power banks, the airline seeks to preemptively address potential safety risks and align with global aviation standards. Passengers are encouraged to check the Fiji Airways website for a comprehensive list of restricted items prior to their travel.
The changes will be communicated effectively to customers during check-in and at the airport from January 19, 2026, ensuring that they are well-informed. This update is part of Fiji Airways’ ongoing commitment to safety and operational excellence, solidifying its position as a leading carrier dedicated to the welfare of all passengers.
