LOS ANGELES.- Grupo Aeromexico and Interjet were added to the restriction made by the united States for which users are not able to carry the cell phone Galaxy Note7, with the danger of explosion.
The companies have informed their customers of this prohibition through emails, on social networks and at the time of purchasing tickets; alerting them that in no place of their baggage or person can lead the computer to Download.
mexicana airlines operates more than 600 daily flights, with its main center of operations out of terminal 2 International Airport of Mexico City (AICM).
last Friday, The Transportation Department of US reported that on flights within and to this nation the passengers may not bring the cell phone Galaxy Note7.
The MCIA noted that it has not released any notification regarding ban that you can carry this computer, so it will be up to each airline to decide.
Grupo Aeromexico reported that in addition to this decision, several weeks ago the crews of the aircraft they ask that passengers turn off this type of cell and not carry inside the plane.
on Tuesday of last week, Samsung announced that it would suspend the production of its Galaxy smartphones Note7 due to a defect that causes the phone battery to explode, this after only two months of its launch as the flagship product of the brand.
The south Korean manufacturer indicated that to discontinue the equipment will cost the company $ 3 billion in the last two quarters of the year, which will have a total cost of at least 5 thousand 300 million dollars.
Because of this problem in their products had already been withdrawn 2.5 billion devices, most of them in the united States and South Korea, but has already initiated the removal of equipment in Mexico.
Case US
The order, which comes into force on Saturday at noon eastern time of the united States, points out that the phone can not be carried onboard or in checked baggage in flights to and from the united States or within the country. Cell phones may not be sent as air freight.
The department warned that passengers who attempt to travel with the Note 7 would be fined and the phone will be confiscated.
Samsung has removed more than 2.5 million of the phones, because of what he said is an error of manufacturing of the battery. The south Korean company discontinued the model this week, less than two months after his departure to the market in August.
The Committee of Safety of the Product to the Consumer indicated that they have reported nearly 100 incidents in the united States in which the batteries of the phones Note 7 have been overheated, including one that caused a fire aboard a Southwest Airlines flight earlier this month. In another case, a family in St. Petersburg, Florida, reported that a phone Galaxy Note 7 that you left charging in the Jeep caught fire, and the fire swept through the vehicle.
The Federal Aviation Administration had previously warned the passengers that don’t keep the phones in their luggage to document and who put you off and do not put a load on board the aircraft.
“we Recognize that the banning of these phones in the airline will cause inconvenience to some passengers, but the safety of all on board an aircraft should be the priority,” said Transportation secretary Anthony Foxx.
“We are taking this extra measure because even one incident of fire on board represents a high risk of a personal injury to be severe, and puts many lives at risk.”
Samsung said in a statement that it works with the department to advise customers about the ban. The company also urged owners of phones Note 7 to ask for a refund or an exchange of phones by visiting your providers of the telephone service or the retail store.
