Emirates is the latest airline to ban certain MacBook Pros in checked-in luggage. The Dubai based airline joins Etihad Airways, Oman Air, Qantas, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways and Virgin Australia in restricting Apple’s recalled models.
In an official statement, Emirates said: “Apple recently announced a recall of 15-inch MacBook Pro models sold between September 2015 and February 2017, citing defective batteries that could overheat and pose a fire safety risk. Therefore, as a safety precaution, travelers will not be permitted to carry these MacBook Pro models as checked or carry-on baggage on Emirates flights unless the battery has been replaced.”
If you carry these models, you can check the status of the battery here.
