Transport Canada bans recalled lithium power banks on flights

Transport Canada issued a Civil Aviation Safety Alert reminding operators that recalled or damaged lithium batteries should not be used or charged on aircraft.

For companies with employees travelling, this is a critical check.

Suggestion: integrate a “battery safety check” into your travel policy. Verify that all power banks and spare batteries are recall-compliant and in proper packaging before flight.

This is a small step but could mitigate major hazards mid-travel.
