After the Samsung Note7 was launched, a series of explosion incidents occurred. Not only did the head of Samsung’s Galaxy Note7 division apologize, but the company also initiated a product recall. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (Federal Aviation Administration, FAA) took note of the flight risks posed by this issue and issued a strong recommendation advising passengers not to turn on or use their Note7 devices on flights to avoid danger.

In line with this recommendation, Taiwanese airlines have also taken relevant actions. China Airlines, TransAsia Airways, EVA Air, UNI Air, Mandarin Airlines, and V Air all prohibit passengers from checking in Note7 phones, and passengers are not allowed to turn on or use their Note7 phones during the flight. Far Eastern Air Transport and Tigerair also prohibit passengers from checking in Note7 phones, and they will advise against turning them on or charging them during the flight.

 

 
In addition, Qantas, Virgin Australia, Singapore Airlines, and others all prohibit the use of Note7 devices during flights. Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has notified Japanese airlines not to allow passengers to use their Note7 devices during flights. South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is still in the process of review and observation and has not yet made a decision.
