The US Federal Aviation Administration strongly
urged passengers Thursday not to turn on or charge Samsung Galaxy Note 7
smartphones on aircraft following recent reports of explosions from faulty
batteries.
The South Korean smartphone maker last week
suspended sales of the “phablet” and recalled 2.5 million units following the
reports.
“In
light of recent incidents and concerns raised by Samsung about its Galaxy Note
7 devices, the Federal Aviation Administration strongly advises passengers not
to turn on or charge these devices on board aircraft and not to stow them in
any checked baggage,” the FAA said in a statement.
Qantas and Virgin Australia also told customers
Thursday not to use or charge the devices on their planes.

Samsung is the world’s top smartphone maker,
outpacing its American rival Apple.
