An Airbus plane belonging to South Korean carrier Air Busan caught fire on Tuesday at Gimhae International Airport in the country's south while preparing for departure to Hong Kong, fire authorities said.

A South Korean airline no longer allows portable power banks in baggage stored in overhead bins, citing lithium-battery fire risk.

Air Busan will begin inspecting carry-on luggage for portable batteries before boarding, after a supplementary battery was suggested as the possible cause of a fire aboard one of its passenger jets at Gimhae International Airport on Jan.

Hong Kong expert says expansion of measure to other airlines will depend on further risk assessments by trade groups and carriers.
