Airlines Are Stocking Up on Fire-Containment Bags For Galaxy Note 7 Units

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was discontinued because the smartphone is prone to overheating and catching fire. Several major airlines have already banned the smartphone from their airplanes and it seems that the companies have taken even more security measures.

The Wall Street Journal reported that major airlines are stocking their planes with fire-containment bags to deal with potential incidents involving the Galaxy Note 7. It seems that Alaska Air Group and Virgin America have distributed bags to their entire mainline fleet.

Delta Airline plans to implement the same measure by the end of this year. Such containers will also be stored in airports so that staff can efficiently deal with potential Note 7 incidents.

The report mentions that the containment bags might be made out of a similar material to the Galaxy
