“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.
