Jet2, Ryanair and easyJet rules on vapes and electronic devices
Airlines Jet2, Ryanair and easyJet have specific rules for vaping devices and power banks to reduce fire risks on flights.Summary
Recent data from the Civil Aviation Authority shows a sharp rise in lithium‑battery incidents on UK flights, with 206 incidents last year and 643 improperly packed devices. The rise has prompted airlines to tighten their regulations on e‑cigarettes and power banks. Jet2 allows e‑cigarettes with batteries up to 160Wh, provided the battery remains installed and protected; easyJet requires all vaping devices to be carried in cabin, switched off, with a maximum of two spare batteries; Ryanair permits up to 15 electronic devices and 20 lithium batteries of no more than 100Wh each, all in hand luggage. Power banks are generally allowed only in carry‑on baggage, with size limits and storage rules to mitigate fire risk. All airlines prohibit charging e‑cigarettes or power banks mid‑flight, citing the danger of overheating.
