Airlines are banned from carrying laptops on their flights because they could be a potential cause of disaster on the plane.
In detail, after Apple announced the production of laptops "MacBook Pro", that some of its batteries pose a risk of fire, the US Federal Aviation Administration banned the carrying of computers of this model.
The company "Apple" said in June that it «found in a limited number of computers MacBook Pro 15-inch older generation, a bug that makes the temperature of the battery is too high and poses a risk of explosion.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said in a statement on Tuesday: "We are aware of the batteries that have been recovered and are being used on some Apple MacBook Pro laptops," The Hill reported, adding that it had informed major US airlines of the issue. .
The agency called on airlines to follow safety instructions for 2016 for products that contain recovered batteries, meaning that affected laptops should not be taken on board aircraft as cargo or as baggage.
Earlier this month, the EU's aviation safety agency also warned regional carriers of MacBooks, saying it must follow safety rules for 2017, which prohibit the carrying of devices containing lithium-ion batteries during flights. .
These warnings bring to mind previous warnings in 2016, when Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones were banned from boarding aircraft after several battery explosion incidents occurred while the phone was in people's pockets.
