"Passenger's power bank spontaneously ignites, Chang'an Airlines reports."
Chang'an Airlines reported on Weibo that at around 22:30 on August 4, a battery pack carried by a passenger on flight 9H8470 from Nanjing to Guiyang spontaneously ignited. The cabin crew strictly followed the emergency procedures for smoke and fire from lithium batteries, handling the situation professionally and efficiently. No injuries were reported on board, and the aircraft was in good condition. After careful consideration by the crew, the flight safely diverted to Wuhan Tianhe International Airport at 22:50. Ground inspections confirmed that the aircraft was safe and airworthy. Chang'an Airlines reminds all travelers to prioritize not carrying battery packs when flying. If it is necessary to bring one, please ensure it meets relevant requirements such as "3C certification" and check the battery pack before bringing it on board. Let's work together to ensure a safe and smooth flight.
