Leading mobile handset manufacturer Samsung on Saturday said it will give top priority to consumer safety, following the Indian aviation regulator prohibiting the use or carriage of the Galaxy Note7 on board aircraft.
Reacting to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation’s (DGCA) decision, Samsung said, “We are aware of the DGCA notice. Consumer safety and peace of mind are our top priorities.”
“Galaxy Note7 sales have not started in India, and we have delayed sales to alleviate any safety concerns. We plan to expedite new shipments of Galaxy Note7 soon to reduce any inconvenience to our customers,” a company statement read.
