Qatar Airways Bans Specific Anker Power Banks Over Safety
Qatar Airways is stopping people from bringing certain Anker power banks on their flights.
This is because some of these power banks have been recalled by the company.
The recall is happening because there is a risk that they could get too hot, produce smoke, melt, or even catch fire.
Qatar Airways doesn't want anything dangerous on their planes, so they're not allowing these specific Anker models.
If you have one of these power banks, you won't be able to take it on the flight.
Qatar Airways bans several Anker power bank models from flights.
The ban is due to safety concerns regarding overheating, smoke, melting, or fire.
The restricted power banks are those recently recalled by Anker.
Recalled models include Anker A1647, A1652, A1681, A1689, A1257, and PowerCore 10000.
Recalls occurred in June 2025 and October 2024, prompting the airline's decision.
