An EasyJet flight (EZY2618) from Hurghada, Egypt, to London Luton was diverted to Rome on Tuesday night after a passenger reported that a power bank was charging in their checked luggage. The captain opted for this precautionary measure in accordance with safety regulations concerning lithium-ion batteries, which can pose significant fire hazards when charging in the aircraft's hold. The flight, cruising at 36,000 feet, made a sharp left turn over the Adriatic Sea and landed safely at Rome Fiumicino Airport about 20 minutes later. Although there was no immediate danger from the power bank, regulations prohibit charging such devices in checked luggage. EasyJet provided hotel accommodations and meals for passengers affected by the diversion, apologizing for any inconvenience. The airline's strict adherence to safety protocols reflects industry-wide practices, with many airlines implementing similar rules regarding power banks to mitigate fire risks. Passengers are allowed a maximum of two power banks, with watt-hour limits and specific storage requirements to ensure safety during flights.
