Airlines Prohibit Hoverboards

December 14, 2015

Hoverboards prohibited on all commercial carriers operating at WRWA. Effective immediately, hoverboards are no longer allowed on any commercial flights operating out of WRWA. The instability of the lithium batteries and potential fire hazard have created safety concerns for aircraft.  The mobility recreation devices have become one of the most popular gift items for Christmas this year. The devices cannot be checked or carried on any commercial flight that operates here at Will Rogers World Airport. This decision is not limited to Will Rogers World Airport. If you travel and receive a hoverboard as a gift while on your trip, you will be required to ship the item back to yourself or find some other means of getting the hoverboard home.  If you have questions or comments regarding hoverboards, please contact your airline. The airlines operating commercially at WRWA include: Alaska, Allegiant, American, Delta, Southwest and United.
