Hong Kong Airlines Flight Diverts to Fuzhou After Mid-Air Fire
A Hong Kong Airlines flight (HX115) made an emergency landing in Fuzhou, China, after a fire erupted in an overhead compartment, suspected to be caused by a power bank. The Airbus A320, which had taken off from Hangzhou en route to Hong Kong, landed safely with no injuries reported among the 168 passengers and crew. Cabin crew and passengers attempted to extinguish the flames with bottled water, highlighting the dangers of lithium-ion batteries, which have been linked to in-flight fires. Recent incidents involving battery fires have raised concerns, prompting some airlines to consider banning power banks on flights. The Civil Aviation Department of Hong Kong is investigating the incident, as the airline provides support to affected passengers. This event reflects a troubling trend in aviation safety regarding the use of portable electronic devices.
