Singapore Tightens Restrictions on Carry-On Power Banks

Singapore authorities have announced a new rule limiting the number of power banks passengers can carry on board aircraft. Effective April 15th, passengers will be restricted to a maximum of two power banks per person. Any additional devices must be surrendered to airline staff prior to boarding.

The announcement was made by the Singapore Civil Aviation Department, citing concerns regarding potential safety risks associated with carry-on power banks. This measure follows a previous restriction implemented by Singapore Airlines, which banned the use of power banks during flights in March 2025. Singapore, a major international travel hub, welcomes nearly 70 million passengers annually.

The updated rule applies to all flights operated from Singapore. Officials state the change is intended to enhance overall passenger safety and security. The Singapore Civil Aviation Department emphasized that this rule does not impact the use of power banks during layovers or in the passenger’s checked baggage.

Passengers are advised to familiarize themselves with the updated regulations before traveling. The implementation of this rule reflects ongoing efforts to maintain a secure and efficient aviation environment within Singapore.
