Lithium-Ion Battery Flights

While many of the major industries around the world are singing praises for lithium-ion batteries and the capabilities and opportunities they present, one major industry in particular has grown weary of a slight risk that has been associated with the ultra-popular battery chemistry.
The Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l, the largest pilots union in the world, has called on the U.S. government and Federal Aviation Administration to halt the shipment of lithium-ion batteries, as well as products containing the batteries, from all passenger and cargo planes until new regulations are in place to ensure the safe transport of what they call “hazardous” materials.
Three incidents in particular have been sited among the ALPA’s call for the halt of lithium-ion batteries in cargo and passenger flights. Apparently flights containing e-cigarettes, used batteries, and another that was carrying a shipment of lithium-ion “bicycle-power devices” resulted in fire, smoke, or evidence of fire in just the past two months.
So far the FAA has said they’re isn’t enough evidence to take any immediate action. With that being said, the ALPA says they are prepared to take their battle to congress if their calls for restrictions go unheard.
ALPA calls on the agencies charged with protecting the public from hazardous materials to issue an immediate ban on lithium battery shipments to protect airline passengers, crews and cargo until the proper safety regulations are in place and can be enforced,” said ALPA’s President, Capt. John Prater.
