China bars taking samsung galaxy note 7 onboard flights october 27

According to reports, China has banned Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices from being carried onboard flights starting from October 27, 2016. This decision was made by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) due to concerns over the device's potential to catch fire or explode.

The ban was implemented after several incidents of Note 7 devices overheating or catching fire, including a few cases on airplanes. The CAAC stated that the ban was necessary to ensure the safety of passengers and crew members.

The ban applies to all Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices, including those that have been recalled or replaced with new ones. Passengers who attempt to bring a Note 7 device onboard a flight in China may be subject to fines or other penalties.

It's worth noting that this ban is specific to China and may not be applicable to other countries. However, many airlines and countries have already banned the Note 7 device from being carried onboard flights due to similar concerns over safety.
