Fly Smarter: Singapore Limits Power Banks to Two
7 Apr
Summary
- Singapore flights will limit passengers to two power banks.
- New rules at Singapore Changi Airport start April 15, 2026.
- Power banks cannot be charged or used on board.
As of April 15, 2026, passengers flying from Singapore will adhere to new safety regulations concerning power banks. The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) has set a limit of two power banks per person in hand luggage. These portable chargers will also be prohibited from being charged or used on board aircraft.
These updated safety requirements are a response to the inherent fire and safety hazards posed by lithium batteries, which can overheat or short-circuit. Singapore Changi Airport, a major international hub, will implement these measures to mitigate risks while accommodating travel needs.
Passengers found with more than two power banks will be required to discard the additional items before departure. CAAS is collaborating with airlines to ensure a smooth transition, with airlines set to inform passengers of the changes. Existing regulations, such as the ban on power banks in checked luggage and capacity limits, remain in effect.
