Now Virgin Atlantic bans Dell and Apple laptops on flights
Virgin Atlantic has now become the latest airline company to ban the use of Dell and Apple laptops on their flights.
The airline company said in a statement on their website: “As a result of the current problems being experienced by the Apple and Dell Corporations with some of the batteries fitted to some of their laptops, as a safety precaution and with immediate effect, customers wanting to use an Apple or Dell laptop on board can only do so if the battery is removed.”
It added: “Any removed or spare batteries must be individually wrapped/protected and placed in your Carry on Baggage. This is limited to two batteries per passenger.”
However, they are allowing the passengers to use their machines in case they use it with the power supplies provided on the flights.
The statement said on this provision: “In cabins where the seats are fitted with In Seat Power Supplies, leads/adapters will be offered. Where no ISPS is provided or no laptop leads/adapters are available, the use of Apple and Dell laptops is prohibited.”
They are currently talking with both Apple and Dell on this issue and have not said on how long this ban would last.
