iPhone Spontaneously Combusts On Regional Express Flight

Matter Reported To ATSB And CASA

Regional Express (Rex) flight ZL319 operating from Lismore to Sydney in Australia had an occurrence after landing Friday when a passenger’s mobile phone started emitting a significant amount of dense smoke, accompanied by a red glow. The mobile phone in question appears to be an Apple iPhone (pictured) and has been handed over to ATSB for analysis.
