Do you know?
Airlines have strict rules about what passengers can bring on board. Coconut are not allowed because they can be dangerous in several ways. Tap to read why carrying coconut is banned on airplanes.
Explosion Risk
Coconuts can explode when exposed to low pressure conditions in the cabin during flights, which is a dangerous thing. They could just burst suddenly.
Inflammable Oil
The oil contained inside it catches fire easily thus increasing airborne combustion risks associated with the plane, making it inappropriate for carrying along.
Sharp Shards
In case of its breakage, people might get injured or cause damage to an aircraft through its sharp fragments. This may result into injuries.
Banned Liquid
Coconut water is too much liquid for a carry-on bag as per airline regulations and hence exceeds the allowable limit for this type of baggage.
Problematic Weight
This means that they have a great impact on the weight and balance of an aircraft since they are heavy objects themselves, which has implications on flight safety.
Space Constraints
Coconuts take up much space available leaving less room for other items in luggage, therefore being bulky and hard to store properly.
