Sorry MH370

An unfortunate Malaysian Airline disappeared after taking off for China and never found again. What it was carrying?

According to the report, there were 221 kilograms of lithium ion batteries in the belly hold of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 that disappeared in the month of March last year. According to the newest report of the International Coordination Council of Aerospace Industry Associations, which denotes plane manufacturers Boeing and Airbus, issued calls for a prohibition on bulk lithium battery deliveries on passenger airplanes, calling the danger of fires  an intolerable hazard.

According to the research into MH370 the lithium battery package on board was packed with Motorola Solutions in Malaysia’s northern Penang state, and did not clearance through security broadcast at Penang airport.

Instead, the cargo of lithium batteries was checked materially by air cargo staffs and cleared check up by customs before it was wrapped and depart the Penang a day before the flight.

At the Kuala Lumpur airport, the lithium battery shipment was loaded onto the airplane without any other security checking. According to the report, there were ninety-nine shipments of lithium ion batteries on Malaysia Airlines flights to Beijing from January to May last year.
According to the chairman of the Hong Kong Association of Freight Forwarding and Logistics Paul Tsui, if lithium-ion batteries, either enclosed in equipment, act upon regulations, they were considered as harmless to transport through air cargo on passenger airline.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) said that lithium metal batteries were banned from being transported on passenger airplane only when conveyed by them.

This ban does not put on lithium metal batteries enclosed with apparatus, for example in mobile phones. The cargo of lithium-ion batteries on MH370 is stimulating considering the regulatory scrutiny applied to the load that was more tightened up following two freighters bangs attributed to batteries catching fire.

Director general and CEO of  IATA’s Tony Tyler stated that the continuous harmless shipping of lithium batteries remained a basic anxiety in the aviation industry, particularly in China where the lithium batteries are manufactured in a massive amount. IATA has issued the guidelines for lithium battery shipping in Chinese to promote the  wakefulness on this dynamic concern, but CEO of  IATA Tony Tyler stated that it was one of government authorities to direct.

Consequently, to permit the transportation of lithium batteries within present transport category airplane cargo sections is an unbearable hazard to the aviation industry.
