Virgin Atlantic Airways bans 'fire hazard' Dell and Apple laptops
pple and Dell laptop owners travelling on Virgin Atlantic international flights are being asked to remove the gadget's batteries before take-off. This will limit laptop use as the majority of seats on Virgin jets are not fitted with power sockets.
Following the recalls, Virgin Atlantic has said passengers taking any Dell or Apple laptop on to its international flights can only use it during the journey with the battery removed. The removed batteries must be wrapped up and protected and placed in carry-on baggage. Each passenger can only take on board two batteries. All seats in Virgin's Upper Class sections are supplied with power sockets allowing travellers in these cabins to plug in their laptop. Also some seats in Premium Economy in some newer Virgin aircraft also have power supplies. In seats where there is no socket, laptop use is banned.
