Galaxy Note 7 devices are not allowed in flight. Airliner recommends you avoid carrying the device in the first place.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A week ago, we discussed why you should not buy the Galaxy Note 7<\/a>. If you’ve been following the news, you’ll know it is because of a case of exploding batteries.<\/p>\n

Yes, the battery in the Galaxy Note 7 is susceptible to exploding while it is charging. To ensure safety of all its customers, Samsung announced they would be issuing a global recall to fix all the Note 7 units\u00a0they’ve sold so far. In other countries, like Pakistan, they’ve delayed the launch to an unspecified date.<\/p>\n

It has been an embarrassing story for Samsung. We recently even heard news of a family’s Jeep SUV being destroyed in a fire after a Galaxy Note 7 exploded mid-charge. This news was followed by airlines like Emirates and Etihad announcing they were banning use of Galaxy Note 7 devices on-board.<\/p>\n

Today, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has announced the same. Galaxy Note 7 devices will NOT be allowed on its flights until further notice.<\/p>\n

Here’s the statement they released online, as shared by Dawn.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn view of recent reports about Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices, and the international warnings to airline passengers not to carry this smartphone during flights, PIA passengers are also strongly advised not to carry it, not even in their check-in luggage, as it may compromise aircraft and passenger safety\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

PIA has gone farther than other airlines, as they recommend not carrying the device at all even if it is shut off and kept in checked-in luggage.<\/p>\n

An overzealous move?<\/h3>\n

\"Galaxy<\/p>\n

People on social media are calling this an overzealous move. Although there is low probability of a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 exploding mid-flight – considering PIA planes do not have USB charging ports, and the Note 7 isn’t even launched in Pakistan yet – but it is a safe decision. Better to be safe than sorry, right?<\/p>\n

If you’re looking to buy a Galaxy Note device right now, you may want to take a look at the Galaxy Note 5 (Samsung skipped the Note 6<\/a>).<\/p>\n
