Philippine Airlines Inc (PAL) has put a halt on passengers bringing lithium-ion batteries inside cargo carriage for check-in as a way of preventing a possible source of fire while airborne. The popular Li-Ion type of batteries are usually seen on smartphones and laptops. While bringing these kinds of batteries are no longer allowed for checking-in on their own, they will be accommodated only if they are inside their respective devices and as long as they comply with the regulatory requirements on packaging and labeling. Otherwise, spare batteries should be hand-carried and only in a limited number.
