Despite the fact that Samsung has already decided to stop making the problematic Galaxy Note7,Engsub Archives airlines continue to announce bans that prohibit passengers from bringing the device on flights, the latest being Australia's leading airlines.
SEE ALSO: U.S. bans Samsung Galaxy Note7 from all flightsVirgin Australia and its subsidiary, Tiger Airways, as well as Qantas and its subsidiary, Jetstar, have all announced bans on the device, a rule that will begin on Sunday, Australia time.
"This is due to concerns regarding potential fire risk from the device’s battery after a number of incidents worldwide and follows a ban put in place by regulators overseas," reads the statement on the Qantas site. "The ban applies to devices being carried onto the aircraft, in carry-on baggage as well as check-in luggage. Other Samsung devices are not affected."
Virgin Australia posted a similar, stern warning on its website on Saturday.
"The use of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices is currently prohibited on all Virgin Australia flights, and the complete ban announced today is an additional safety measure," reads the Virgin Australia notice on its site. "This is due to safety concerns around the device and follows the implementation of a ban by the U.S. Department of Transportation."
The bans in Australia follow official, government-backed bans in the U.S. and Canada announced on Saturday.
