South Korean aviation authorities reported 13 aircraft fires linked to electronic device batteries from 2020 to 2024, highlighting safety concerns with lithium-ion batteries. Nine incidents involved power banks, while mobile phones and e-cigarettes caused one fire each. A recent fire on an Air Busan aircraft intensified these concerns. In response, airlines are implementing new safety protocols, including banning power banks in overhead compartments and enhancing crew training for battery-related incidents. The rising trend in such fires underscores the need for vigilance and cooperation among all aviation stakeholders to ensure passenger safety.
