Reuters

09/13

Sept 12 (Reuters) - Southwest Airlines LUV.N said Friday it will require passengers to take out removable lithium batteries from powered wheelchairs and scooters before boarding, citing fire risks.

The new rules take effect Sept. 25 and Southwest in January will impose new size limits on lithium batteries. On Tuesday, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a safety alert to airlines over risks from lithium batteries in aircraft passenger compartments, citing a large number of serious incidents.
