c. Applicable safety regulations are complied with.

For more information, please refer to Regulation (EC) No. 820/2008.

4. Batteries.

The transport of batteries is restricted due to their characteristics. Please refer to the table below to determine whether your battery is acceptable.

Medium-sized lithium/sodium batteries and cells. Examples include long-life computer batteries and batteries used in professional audiovisual equipment. These types of batteries provide between 100 and 160 Wh of energy.

Small lithium/sodium batteries or cells. This group includes batteries for cell phones, watches, MP3 players, and similar devices, as well as internal batteries for laptops, power banks, etc. The maximum nominal energy for this type of battery is 100 Wh.

Large lithium/sodium cells and batteries. These are mainly used in some electric or hybrid vehicles, as well as in wheelchairs, scooters and bicycles. A large rechargeable battery provides more than 160 Wh of power.

NOTE: When transporting power banks in the passenger cabin, please note that their battery capacity must not exceed 100 Wh. Furthermore, their use is not permitted at any stage of the flight, and it is recommended that they be stored in the seat pocket in front of you.

The transport of lithium batteries is restricted due to their characteristics. Please refer to the table below to
determine whether your battery is acceptable.

Watt-hours (Wh) or lithium/sodium content:  <= 100 Wh (2 grams)

Watt-hours (Wh) or lithium/sodium content:  >100 Wh to ≤160 Wh (>2 gr
to ≤8 gr)

Watt-hours (Wh) or lithium/sodium content: 160 Wh 

Important: Replacement lithium/sodium batteries for laptops, cameras, cell phones, e-cigarettes, etc., must be transported as carry-on baggage and never as checked baggage.

Note: If any of the items in this table require approval from the operator, please call 928 018 500 or email us at attpasajero@canaryfly.es

5. EASA Recommendations

Based on the latest recommendations from the EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency), we would like to inform our customers of the precautions they should take when traveling with electronic devices that contain lithium batteries:

1. The references in the regulation can be found at:

• EASA Safety Information Bulletin (SIB) No. 2015-28, “Passenger Awareness on the Risks of Lithium Batteries”
• Commission Regulation (EU) No. 965/2012 of October 5, 2012
• International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Document 9284, “Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air”
• ICAO Document 9481, “Emergency Response Guidance for Aircraft Incidents Involving Dangerous Goods”
• ICAO Electronic Bulletin EB 2017/23, "Portable Electronic Devices"

2. Commonly used electronic devices (e.g., cameras, laptops, phones, e-readers, tablets, MP3 players, etc.)

Electronic devices that contain lithium or sodium batteries should, preferably, be transported in the passenger cabin, either on one's person or in their carry-on baggage. This will make it easier for the crew to respond quickly in the event of an incident or accident on board. The European Aviation Safety Agency recommends the following:

• Electronic devices that can be carried as checked baggage must be fully switched off and effectively protected against accidental activation. To ensure that the electronic device is never turned on during transport, any apps, alarms, or scheduled settings that could activate the device must be disabled.

Note: Spare, loose lithium, lithium-ion, and lithium-metal batteries are not allowed in checked baggage, including power banks or external batteries used for cell phones, etc. Only batteries that are inside an electronic device are allowed.

• Electronic devices that can be carried as checked baggage must be protected from damage by using suitable packaging, a box, or by placing them in a rigid bag protected with adequate cushioning (e.g., fabric, padded material, etc.).

If carry-on baggage is placed in the hold (for example, due to a lack of space), the passenger must remove any spare batteries or electronic cigarettes.

When electronic devices cannot be checked and are transported as carry-on baggage, the points set out above must be complied with.

3. Bulky electronic devices (e.g., printers, sound equipment, etc.)

Recent tests conducted by the FAA have shown that, if a thermal runaway event occurs in a large PED carried in checked baggage along with

• Flammable materials, such as hairspray, there is little likelihood that the cargo compartment will be able to contain the resulting fire.
• Bulky electronic devices should be carried in the passenger cabin whenever possible;
• Bulky electronic devices checked in the hold must be fully powered off and effectively protected against accidental activation. To ensure that the electronic device never turns on during transport, any apps, alarms, or scheduled settings that could activate the device must be disabled. Electronic devices must be protected from potential damage using suitable packaging, or a box, or placed in a rigid bag protected with adequate cushioning (e.g., fabric, padded material, etc.). They should not be transported in the same baggage as flammable materials (e.g., perfumes, aerosols, etc.)
