You will need to decide either to fly without it or not to fly. If you own an affected model, you haven’t replaced your battery OR you have don’t have documentation confirming that you have replaced the battery, you won’t be able to take your MacBook Pro with you on a flight either in a carry on bag or as baggage in the hold. Now four airlines with cargo operations - TUI Group Airlines, Thomas Cook Airlines, Air Italy, and Air Transat - have also banned the laptops from being brought onto the carriers’ planes as cargo, according to an internal notice obtained by Bloomberg News. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency has also issued a warning about these MacBook Pro models, telling airlines to follow their 2017 rules that require devices with recalled lithium-ion batteries to be switched off and not used during flights. We understand that the FAA has also reminded airlines to follow 2016 safety instructions for goods with recalled batteries, which means that the affected Apple laptops should not be taken on flights as cargo or in carry-on baggage by passengers. On July 10, the FAA retweeted a Digital Trends post with photos of the affected MacBook with a link to the US Consumer Product Safety Commision webpage covering Apple’s recall. This is addition to an issue with the batteries in non Touch Bar 13” MacBook Pro laptops manufactured between October 2016 and October 2017. The units were sold primarily between September 2015 and February 2017 and can be identified by their product serial number.
The FAA’s statement follows Apple’s announcement of a voluntary recall of a limited number of older generation 15-inch MacBook Pro units, which contain a battery that may overheat and pose a safety risk.
