ICAO council has adopted a new aviation safety measure by banning all shipments of lithium-ion batteries as cargo on passenger planes.

Prohibition applies only to lithium-ion batteries shipped as cargo on passenger planes, not to those contained in personal electronic devices carried by passengers or crew.The council’s decision is effective from April 1, 2016

ICAO council president Olumuyiwa Benard Aliu said the interim prohibition “will continue to be in force as separate work continues through ICAO on a new lithium battery packaging performance standard, currently expected by 2018.”

Ban of lithium-ion cargo shipments on passenger planes was heavily favored by aircraft manufacturer and pilots associations, which have been the most vocal advocates for the new aviation safety measure.

No ale nas to nie dotyczy?
Cargo - czyli przesyłka towarowa. My ze sobą nadal będziemy mogli brać pakiety do samolotu.

Nie. Nie dotyczy, chyba że któraś firma wysyłała cargo samolotami nie cargo. Często daleki zasięg zabiera cargo. Nie wydaje mi się, źeby to miało wpływ na Mirka i jgo szmuglowanie gratów.
