No more batteries as cargo
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    The U.N. aviation agency on Monday prohibited shipments of lithium-ion batteries as cargo on passenger aircraft, following concerns by pilots and plane makers that they are a fire risk.

    The International Civil Aviation Organization's 36-state governing council said the prohibition would be in effect as of April 1, and would be maintained until a new fire-resistant packaging standard is designed to transport the batteries. Lithium-ion batteries can still be transported on cargo planes.

    The new packaging standard is expected by 2018, ICAO Council President Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu said in a statement.
