Lufthansa Flight Diverted After Passenger's Powerbank Catches Fire

A Lufthansa plane was flying from Frankfurt to Lisbon.

A passenger’s powerbank caught fire during the flight.

The crew put the battery into a special protective bag.

Nobody was hurt.

The pilot chose to land in Lyon, France, as a safety precaution.

The plane landed without problems.

The passengers stayed in a hotel overnight and continued their trip the next day.

Lufthansa says passenger and crew safety is its top priority.

The airline has banned using or charging external batteries on its planes since January.
