India Oct 14, 2026

Heads up, travelers: India's aviation authority, the DGCA, has just banned the MOBIKINS MK-PB-04 power bank on all flights after a recent fire incident involving the MOBIKINS MK-PB-04 power bank.

Airlines have been told to keep this model off flights and remind passengers about safety rules.

Countries tighten aircraft power bank rules

This isn't just an India thing: several countries, including India, are restricting powerbank usage on aircraft to reduce fire risks.

New limits mean you can't bring as many or as big a power bank on board, mainly to prevent fires, especially if bags are placed in the baggage hold, where a fire may take longer to detect.

So next time you fly, double-check your gadgets!
