A Scoot Airbus A321-200N, registration 9V-NCJ performing flight TR-939 from Hong Kong (China) to Singapore (Singapore), was descending towards Singapore when a passenger's power bank overheated and caught fire. Cabin crew used fire extinguishers and water to put the fire out and put the power bank into a safe container. The aircraft continued for a safe landing on runway 20C.

The airline reported a small fire from a passenger's power bank, which was promptly extinguished by cabin crew.

Passengers reported there had been a strong burning odour in the cabin when the aircraft was about to land. Flight attendants were rushing through the aircraft with protective gloves, fire extinguishers and subsequently carried a bag towards the aft galley.

The aircraft returned to service about 10 hours after landing.
