Lufthansa says it hasn’t banned the use of Apple Airtags despite a post from its Twitter account saying the opposite.
In a recent Tweet, German flag carrier Lufthansa told passengers it had banned activated Apple AirTags from luggage, as they had been deemed “dangerous and need to be turned off”.that its risk assessment had revealed that the low-power Bluetooth devices pose no safety risk.However, it said regulations limit the use of tracking devices like AirTags in checked luggage. It called on authorities to adapt the rules.
Apple said its AirTags comply with international airline travel safety regulations for carry-on and checked luggage. ICAO’s guidance on using AirTags in air travel can be interpreted to mean that devices like AirTags should be banned, even though their batteries contain only small amounts of lithium.
