DGCA set to restrict smart bags in planes

New Delhi: Batteries of personal electronic devices catching fire is the new fear in the sky. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is going to ban smart luggage, which include devices with non-removable batteries, from being carried on planes — whether in check-in or as hand bags.
So far only Jet Airways has banned smart luggage, including devices with integrated lithium batteries, motors, power banks, GPS, GSM, Bluetooth, RFID or Wi-Fi technology. Jet allows smart bags with lithium battery only if it is possible to remove the battery.
