The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in India has confirmed that Galaxy Note7 is now safe to use in airplanes. This condition however, applies only to newer devices that are manufactured and purchased after September 15. The ‘safe’ Galaxy Note7 will be denoted by a green coloured battery indicator in the notification panel.
This is an interesting development because the phone is yet to go on sale in the Indian market and Economic Times notes that the launch is likely to be delayed due to the ongoing recall.
Earlier this month, DGCA issued a notification banning the use or charge of Galaxy Note7 in Indian flights and the same was iterated in every flight taking off from India.
