New power bank rules, which went into effect on 3/1/2025, are slowly rolling out – with plans for eventual individual inspection and approval to carry. In January 2025, a malfunctioning power bank was likely responsible for a fire on an Air Busan flight.

At Incheon Airport, there are information tables setup next to each security checkpoint for departing passengers. Here, they offer details of this safety rollout and provide plastic bags to safely seal your batteries.
