Thai Airways International PCL has joined other airlines in banning the in-flight use of Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 phones following reports of exploding batteries in some units.

THAI Aviation Safety, Security and Standards Department director Flt. Lt. Prathana Pattanasiri said on Saturday that the firm asked for cooperation from the passengers who used this particular phone model not to open or charge the device while travelling on the plane and must not be placed in checked-in baggage.
