Director General of Civil Aviation bans use/carriage of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on planes.



The Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has banned the use/carriage of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 mobile phones on airplanes in India in the light of recent incidents involving battery issue, globally.

Through it's notice dated September 9, DGCA has restricted passengers and the airlines from turning on or charging the phone on aircraft. The DGCA has also warned the airlines from stowing the phone in the check-in baggages.

Samsung has announced an unprecedented recall of the Galaxy Note 7 just weeks after launching the well-received smartphones. Sales have been halted globally, and over the coming weeks, Samsung will issue replacements to anyone affected. The issue is related to the phone's battery, with some scattered reports that the cell can explode while charging. 
Samsung has said that issues with the battery is the cause of the phones catching fire. However, out of the phones sold, it was tough to assess which have the specific issue. 
In light of recent incidents and concerns raised by Samsung about its Galaxy Note 7 devices, the Federal Aviation Administration strongly advise passengers not to turn on or charge these devices on board aircraft and not to stow them in any checked baggage
