On 21 July 2025, smoke and fire began in a passenger knapsack loaded in an overhead stowage compartment of a Boeing 737-800 during descent into Hobart. A ‘PAN’ was declared to expedite the approach and the fire was extinguished by cabin crew using fire extinguishers and water. The burnt knapsack was removed by emergency services personnel after landing. The fire origin was a malfunctioning power bank which the owner had been charging via the in-seat charging point. The airline involved subsequently revised its rules for carriage of power banks including prohibiting their use and recharging from the aircraft electrical system.
