Apple’s troubles with select models of the 2015 MacBook seem to be getting worse. The FAA got the ball rolling when it reminded travelers early last month to avoid carrying recalled batteries unless the cells were repaired or recalled by the manufacturer. Then, airlines operated by Total Cargo Expertise issued instructions to avoid carrying 15-inch MacBook Pros manufactured between mid-2015 and February 2017 on its flights. The notebooks are banned from both passenger and cargo holds. Now, over this past week, four more airlines have joined the 15-inch MacBook Pro boycott. Take a look below for more details.

In a statement, Qantas airlines has prohibited passengers from carrying the affected MacBook Pros in either their carry-on items or checked luggage. The airline also advises passengers to check Apple’s website to confirm if their notebooks fall under the company’s battery recall program. The move follows the Vietnamese Civil Aviation Authority’s decision to also prohibit passengers and crew members from carrying the affected notebooks on flights.
