and restrictions on power banks. It issued this reminder in response to an incident that took place on a flight of the Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM) Thursday. A power bank reportedly caught fire on board of a KLM flight from Amsterdam to Curaçao on Thursday. After 5.5 hours on the plane, the pilot decided to turn the flight around over the Atlantic Ocean and head back to Schiphol Airport. Passengers are only allowed to bring along a powerbank with a maximum storage capacity of 99 mAh in their carry-on. If a passenger wants to bring along a powerbank with a storage capacity of 100 to 159 mAh, he or she must ask the company for permission. While these gadgets are allowed aboard airplanes, passengers are prohibited from using them inflight due to the fire hazard posed by their lithium batteries. A witness claimed that “a bang was heard” followed by “an immediate fire” with “large flames” roaring up over the seat. While crews quickly extinguished the blaze, the captain decided to make a U-turn over the Atlantic and return to Amsterdam. They finally departed for Curacao Friday morning aboard a new aircraft. The unnamed passenger commended the cabin crew for responding “very quickly and appropriately.” One person sustained minor injuries during the incident. It is alleged that the power bank that exploded belonged to former KLM CEO Camiel Eurling
