In a statement, the FAA said it was "aware of the recalled batteries that are used in some Apple MacBook Pro laptops" and reminded airlines to follow safety guidelines issued in 2016 about consumer electronics with recalled batteries.

According to those guidelines, electronics with recalled batteries should not be allowed on flights as cargo or in carry-on luggage. That would apply to the affected MacBook Pros.
