A recalled MacBook Pro has been banned on more than a dozen airlines - here are the carriers that won't let you bring the laptop on board

The European Union said that the MacBook Pro models should be switched off and not used during flights. It stopped short of a full ban like its US counterpart, though the agencies often align on such safety notices.

TUI Group Airlines banned the affected laptops from being carried as cargo, or being brought in the passenger cabin, according to Bloomberg.

Tour operator Thomas Cook also banned the laptops from its flights.

Canadian airline Air Transat also banned the laptop.

Air Italy similarly banned the affected model.

Australian airline Qantas banned all 15-inch MacBook Pro computers from checked luggage, including unaffected models. While it continued to allow the laptop in carry-on bags, passengers must leave it switched off during flight.

Virgin Australia went a step further, banning all Apple MacBooks, regardless of model or size, from checked baggage, although it still allows them in the cabin.

Singapore's ban includes the checked luggage and the passenger cabin.

Star Alliance carrier Thai Airways said that the affected laptops could not be brought on board at all, unless the battery had been replaced already.

Etihad banned all MacBook Pro computers, regardless of size or model, from checked luggage. They can still be brought in the passenger cabin.
