Why coconuts are banned on airplanes?

Shweta Singh

Coconut oil is flammable and can easily catch fire if exposed to heat.

It ignites at a lower temperature than many other oils, increasing fire risks.

When coconut oil gets too hot, especially on a plane, it can become a fire hazard.

If spilled near a heat source, coconut oil might catch fire and pose a danger.

A fire on a plane is dangerous because it’s difficult to control and extinguish.

Once ignited, coconut oil can fuel the fire, making it grow larger.

Airlines enforce strict rules to prevent flammable items, like coconut oil, from being brought onboard.

To reduce fire risks, coconut oil is often banned on planes to ensure passenger safety.
