Airlines ban Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on flights
German carrier Air Berlin
The bans come in response to numerous reports of the devices catching fire.
A note on Air Berlin’s customer website said that carrying the mobile phones was not allowed on its flights with immediate effect.
Earlier on Saturday, Singapore Airlines said it had banned the mobile phones and U.S. regulators said on Friday the devices would be banned starting from Saturday noon EDT under an emergency order.
A Lufthansa spokesman, in reply to a question, said the airline was banning the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 on all U.S.-related flights for the time being with the wider ban expected soon.
