CargoLux says no to batteries. When will we?
Freight operator Cargolux is preparing to suspend transport of lithium-ion battery consignments in light of recent re-assessment of the potential hazards they pose. Will this be copied by airlines as quickly as the "two-crew-always" policy after the GermanWings tragedy? Probably not but wouldn't it be nice... |
already did a month or so ago , means we can't ship our own a/c emergency light battery packs .
|
Sub, read the article it's only a temporary suspension. You might also like to read your own company regs.

They'll probably get the Italian arm to carry them instead

A growing number of airlines have also said they will no longer accept bulk battery shipments, including Delta, United, Cathay Pacific, Qantas, British Airways and Cargolux. |
