Can i bring neodymium magnets on a plane？

Can I bring neodymium magnets onto the plane? Do you also want to know about this question? The following article will introduce whether it is possible and some precautions for you.

According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and relevant aviation safety regulations, whether neodymium magnets (strong magnets) can be carried or checked on board an airplane needs to be judged according to its magnetic field strength and packaging method.

Radial neodymium cylindrical magnets are shown.

Most airlines' rules for carrying magnets will be stated in their carry-on baggage policy. Generally, powerful magnets are considered dangerous and may be listed as prohibited items.

During the security screening process, security personnel may check for the presence of items such as magnets in hand luggage. If magnets are found, you may be asked to remove them or hand them over to the security personnel for disposal.

Even if the magnet is successfully brought onto the airplane, there may be restrictions on its use in the cabin. For example, electronic equipment, navigation systems and sensors in the cabin may be subject to magnetic fields and the use of magnets or other magnetic objects may be prohibited.

Exceptions may be made for certain special circumstances, such as scientific research or medical equipment. In such cases, passengers may be required to request permission in advance from the airline or local air transportation authority.

Therefore, if you need to bring magnets on board an airplane, it is recommended that you know the airline's rules in advance and contact the airline if necessary to ensure that your carry-on complies with the rules and does not compromise flight safety.
