The Civil Aviation Authority (AACM) announced in a statement yesterday that passengers departing from the local airport can have no more than two powerbanks in their carry-on luggage, while charging powerbanks during flights is strictly prohibited.
The statement noted that both the airport and Air Macau were instructed to implement the measures, noting that the new requirements, effective from yesterday, are to “comply with the latest requirements announced by the International Civil Aviation Organisation” on the carrying and usage of lithium battery power banks by passengers.
In September 2025, the Civil Aviation Authority issued a safety notice, titled “Carriage of Power Banks/Spare Lithium Batteries as Carry-on Baggage on Board an Aircraft,” to Macau’s aviation sector to improve operational safety, the statement added.
“The Civil Aviation Authority will continue to follow up on the latest developments regarding the International Civil Aviation Organisation’s (ICAO) safety standards for the transport of dangerous goods and co-ordinate with industry operators to implement them promptly”, according to the statement.
