SINGAPORE – Transport safety investigators have found that damage to wires and cable insulation, and the presence of liquid in a Singapore Airlines in-flight entertainment frame, likely contributed to a smoke and fire incident in the air about a year ago.
It is noted that before the plane took off at Narita Airport, the passenger had tried to charge his laptop using a USB port on the panel, but unplugged his device after realising it was not charging.Reacting to the smoke, a flight attendant immediately cut the power supply for all three IFE panels in the same row of seats. Another attendant also alerted the flight crew.
SIA had noted that a multi-port jack panel of seat 41K in the same aircraft had emitted smoke four days before the flight, according to the report. Following the March 27, 2023, incident, SIA checked the aircraft’s electrical system for the IFEs and found previously undetected damage to the wires and cable insulation at yet another seat – 41H.
