All Nippon Airways (ANA) has developed a fire-resistant storage bag that can prevent fires in aircraft cabins caused by overheated batteries in electronic devices.

The Japanese airline jointly developed the special bag along with Kikuchi Sheet Industries (Kikuchi Sheet), and TOPPAN Corporation.

Portable electronics brought onboard aircraft can be a fire hazard due to faulty or damaged batteries, worn insulation, or damaged wiring. Lithium batteries in particular can overheat, short-circuit, or catch fire if they are damaged, poorly manufactured or misused.
