Korean Air bans Mac portable use
Korea's national airline, Korean Air, has forbidden the use of Apple and Dell laptops during flights in response to the recent battery recall by both firms. The ban came into effect on 30 August and is designed to protect passengers from any accidental fires. Apple and Dell have both issued battery recalls in connection with a large batch (6 million) of potentially faulty Sony battery cores.

The headline is misleading. You can use a Mac laptop, but not on battery power. Every seat on Korean Air overseas flights have power sockets for most plugs.
