Air Premia's notice dated April 20, 2026 states that passengers may carry at most two power banks of 160Wh or less per person. Power-bank terminals must be protected from short circuits, for example with insulating tape, separate transparent bags or protective pouches. Overhead-bin storage is prohibited; batteries should be kept on your person or in the seatback pocket. Charging or using power banks during the flight is prohibited. Report overheating or another abnormal condition to cabin crew promptly. The airline identifies this as a quantity-rule change effective April 20, 2026; do not assume older or other-airline limits apply.
