More...The International Civil Aviation Organization has placed a ban on the cargo shipment of lithium-ion batteries on passenger aircraft, following concerns from pilots that they constitute a fire risk.
The UN agency ruling will go into effect on April 1st. The ban is said to be mandatory for the 36 member states of the International Civil Aviation Organization according to Reuters, and it’s expected that others will also follow suit. Many airlines had already stopped accepting cargo loads of batteries on passenger aircraft.
