The rule is intended to prevent fires involving shipments of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries on passenger planes. The batteries can self-ignite. Many countries adopted the international standard on domestic flights as well and the same rule was proposed in the U.S. Most domestic U.S. carriers abide voluntarily, but don't have to.
BERLIN (AP) — Hundreds of flights at Berlin's two airports have been canceled as a result of the second strike in four days by ground staff.
