A Batik Air Boeing 737-800, registration 9M-LNP performing flight OD-530 from Johor Bahru (Malaysia) to Bangkok Don Mueang (Thailand), was enroute at FL380 nearing the top of descent into Bangkok when a passenger’s power bank stored in an overhead locker suffered a thermal runway emitting smoke. Cabin crew secured the power bank into a safe container. The aircraft continued for a safe landing on Don Mueang’s runway 21R about 30 minutes later.

The aircraft remained on the ground for about 8.5 hours and departed for its next sector with a delay of about 7 hours.
