KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia has banned Samsung Galaxy Note 7 mobile phones onboard all its flights from midnight tonight on safety concerns.
The move follows the decision by the recent US Department of Transport to ban the device and amid reports of replacement units catching fire, it said in a statement here today.
Guests are not permitted to carry the Galaxy Note 7, including recalled and replacement devices on their person, in cabin bags, in check-in baggage or as cargo.
Any guests found with the device will be denied boarding.
The prohibition applies to all flights operated by AirAsia Group, comprising AirAsia Malaysia, AirAsia Thailand, AirAsia Indonesia, AirAsia Philippines, AirAsia India, Malaysia AirAsia X, Thai AirAsia X and Indonesia AirAsia X. - BERNAMA
