An emergency evacuation occurred at Chandigarh Airport on Tuesday when a passenger's power bank caught fire on an IndiGo flight arriving from Hyderabad. The fire broke out after the aircraft had landed and was stationary, prompting an immediate evacuation of all passengers. IndiGo confirmed that the incident involved a personal electronic device and prioritized the safety of its customers and crew. Videos from passengers showed smoke filling the cabin, leading to minor injuries for several individuals, with five taken to the hospital for medical evaluation. The incident has raised questions about the regulations governing power banks on flights. According to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), power banks are only allowed in carry-on baggage and are strictly prohibited in checked luggage. Furthermore, the use of power banks onboard is banned, meaning passengers cannot charge devices during the flight. The DGCA emphasizes that lithium battery fires can escalate quickly, making it crucial for passengers to keep power banks accessible and report any overheating or malfunctioning devices to cabin crew immediately.
