International aviation officials are trying to quickly come up with safer packaging for air cargo shipments of lithium-ion batteries, after U.S. testing confirmed that aircraft fire suppression systems can’t prevent overheated batteries from causing a powerful explosion. Officials familiar with discussions this week at a meeting in Montreal of the International Civil Aviation Organization’s committee on hazardous cargo said the group’s members heard a detailed presentation by aircraft manufacturers and pilot unions on the potential for the batteries to cause an explosion and fire capable of destroying a plane.
