The AvSax lithium battery fire mitigation bag is a lithium battery fire mitigation bag designed to deal with overheating or burning electronic devices powered by lithium batteries and brought on board aircraft by passengers.

Context

Mobile devices (phones, tablet, laptops, etc...) powered by lithium batteries present a natural hazard, as the lithium battery can overheat, catch fire, or even explode, being a hazard for passenger aircraft that have to accommodate hundreds of passengers, each now carrying several such devices.

Concerns over lithium batteries on aircraft have grown so much in recent years that it has now become part of the pre-flight safety briefing to passengers on many airlines globally. Notably, in the USA, details of lithium fire incidents on board American airline companies' aircraft or in American airspace are made public by the Federal Aviation Administration.^[1]

Uses

By April 2024 AvSax were on almost 17,000 aircraft operated by 100 airline companies across the world and have been used at least 33 times to deal with emergencies since the start of 2017. One of the early incidents involved a smouldering mobile phone on a Hawaiian Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Honolulu in December 2018.^[2]

In 2021 international aerial emergency medical services company Babcock equipped its 20-strong British fleet of emergency air ambulances with AvSax.^[3]

The AvSax was designed by entrepreneur Richard Bailey^[4] who lives in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England. It won the Queen's Award for Enterprise in the UK^[5]
