Airline prohibits charging Note 7 on flight
While, Samsung prepares for refunds and exchanges for customers who bought the Note 7 post reported explosions; there are others working on guidance concerning the device.
According to one of the customers aboard the Qantas airline, the passengers were prohibited from charging the Note 7 during their travel from Perth to Sydney earlier this week.
A Qantas spokesperson later confirmed that the Australian airline was asking customers not to charge the smartphones in the air, telling the Herald, “Following the worldwide recall of the Samsung Galaxy Note7 Personal Electronic Device (PED), we are requesting that passengers do not charge them inflight.”
Samsung has voluntarily initiated its own product recall. The company also delayed shipments of the smartphones in certain countries. Samsung certainly isn’t taking this issue lightly.
