If you’re used to charging your devices mid-flight, you’ll need to plan ahead. From 19 January 2026, Fiji Airways is introducing new safety measures for portable power banks on all Fiji Airways and Fiji Link flights.
Passengers will no longer be able to use or charge power banks during flights. Power banks are also banned from checked luggage, meaning they must be carried in your cabin bag. The safest spot onboard? Your seat pocket, where they remain easily accessible, rather than tucked away in overhead compartments.
Each traveler can bring up to two power banks, and each must not exceed 100 Wh. For those traveling with smart bags, lithium batteries must be removed and stored in the same way as power banks.
The move is part of Fiji Airways’ ongoing commitment to passenger safety, aligning with global aviation standards set by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). By proactively managing potential risks from portable electronics, the airline aims to keep every journey safe and comfortable.
Passengers are encouraged to check the Fiji Airways website for a complete list of restricted items and review the new rules before flying. With a few simple adjustments, your next flight can stay worry-free — and you’ll be ready to jump straight into your Fiji adventures fully charged.
