Thai Airways is telling passengers travelling on their fleet that some Apple MacBook Pro notebooks, distributed between 2015 to 2017, won’t be allowed on flights to and from EU countries.

According to the Bangkok Post, the vice president of Thai Airways’ aviation safety department, Flt Lt Prathana Pattanasiri, claims the flag carrier is banning MacBook Pro 15-inch notebooks purchased between September 2015 and February 2017 on their fleet.

“The notebooks won’t be allowed on, either as carry-on or checked luggage.”

The ban on Thai Airways follows an official announcement from the European Aviation Safety Agency to ban the Apple laptop model on all fights to and from the EU “for aircraft safety”.

The 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro notebooks sold between September 2015 and February 2017 are being recalled to change the battery.
