MANDATORY GUIDANCE

Standardised rules for carrying PEDs*

*PEDs = Portable Electronic Devices

What you need to know:

Limits Apply – A maximum of six (6) PEDs per person will be allowed.
Condition Matters – Devices must be in good condition and securely packaged.
Powering Off – All PEDs must be switched off completely before and during flight.
Some Items Banned – E-cigarettes and power banks will NOT be permitted.

Why is this important?

Helicopters have limited capacity to contain fires in flight. These new measures help protect everyone onboard by reducing the risk of battery-related incidents.

Specialised electronic equipment required for work purposes is not included in this restriction but must be declared before travel.
