Portable Electronic Devices

For your safety, the use of certain carry-on portable electronic devices is restricted as they may interfere with the aircraft navigation and control systems. We would appreciate if you could refrain from using any portable electronic equipment while the aircraft is taxiing, during takeoff, or during approach and landing.

Electronic devices that are most likely to cause interference are amateur transceivers, CB radios and remote control devices, including toys. The use of these devices is banned at all times on board.

Mobile phones must be switched off completely when the cabin doors are closed for departure and must not be turned on again until the aircraft is parked and the cabin doors have been opened. Mobile phones may be used on the ground during transit at any time the cabin doors are open (unless otherwise instructed by cabin crew).

Other forms of electronic devices such as DVDs, VCDs, LDs, computer CD-ROMS, mini discs, camcorders and CD players may be used on board from 15 minutes after takeoff until the seat belt sign is switched on in preparation for landing. The Inflight Services Manager will make an announcement to remind you of this safety requirement.

Please note that personal electronic device cannot be plugged into the aircraft's electrical power supply outlets.* This includes any type of charging devices. An exception is made for portable shavers which may only be used in the appropriate sockets in the lavatories.

* In-seat power for laptops will soon be available across our entire fleet.
