South Korea’s Air Busan will not allow passengers to keep power banks in luggage stored in overhead cabin bins, in what on Tuesday it called a preemptive

The incident comes in the wake of 179 people dying when a plane skidded off a runway at a different airport in the country last month.

South Korea's Air Busan will not allow passengers to keep power banks in luggage stored in overhead cabin bins, in what it called a preemptive measure after one of its planes was engulfed in flames last week.

A passenger aircraft caught fire at the Busan international airport in southeastern South Korea. All 169 passengers were succesfully evacuated, and one person was reported injured.

Shares of Air Busan dropped on Friday, after a plane belonging to the budget carrier caught fire earlier this week.

The fire broke out in the back of the cabin, officials said. All 176 people on board, including passengers and crew members, were evacuated, some with minor injuries.

Airlines are bolstering safety measures for lithium-ion batteries after a fire on an Air Busan plane. Passengers are advised to carry power banks instead of storing them overhead.
