DGCA prohibits passengers to carry certain MacBook Pro models in flights
By MYBRANDBOOK
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has implemented regulations on passengers that they should not carry models of 15-inch MacBook Pro laptopsthat Apple deemed a safety risk due to overheating batteries.
Apple had on June 20 issued a notice on its website regarding the risk posed by the models of the MacBook Pro laptops. They announced a recall of a limited number of older generation 15-inch MacBook Pro models sold primarily between September 2015 and February 2017 due to fears that their batteries may overheat and catch fire.
The company said it has voluntarily decided to replace affected batteries, free of charge.
Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Thai Airways are also not allowing 15-inch MacBook Pro notebooks sold between September 2015 and February 2017 on the aircraft either as carry-on or checked luggage.
In a tweet, DGCA Chief Arun Kumar has shared his views. He commented that consequent upon the recall of a limited number of older generation 15-inch MacBook Pro laptops by Apple Inc (sold primarily between September 2015 and February 2017) due to fears that their batteries may overheat and pose a safety risk, DGCA requests all air passengers not to fly with the affected models either as hand-baggage or checked-in baggage until the battery has been verified/certified as safe or replaced by the manufacturer.
