If prohibited items or substances – such as power banks, loose lithium batteries, lighters or battery-powered electronic smoking devices – are found in checked baggage, they will be removed. Removed items are always reported using a separate removal form, which is left in the bag in place of the removed item. The removal form contains detailed information about the removed item. Removed items will be disposed of, recycled or donated to charity.
There are some exceptions when it comes to items removed from checked baggage. These items will be stored at the airport for 30 days.
