Power banks with a capacity of more than 160Wh are strictly prohibited by various airlines internationally. For example, flyers often wonder if a 20000mah power bank is allowed on flights. As 20000mah makes for less than 100 watt-hours, it can be carried in cabin luggage.
Yes.A power bank is allowed on flight but only in a passenger's hand baggage. It is strictly maintained that you do not carry a power bank in your check in baggage.
Powerbanks restrictions are airline specific. Most allow only up to 10000mAh only in the carry-on luggage. You are not allowed to put them in your checked baggage. That being said, I have flown in and out of Singapore with power banks and had no issues either way.

Yes you can carry a 30,000mAh power bank in an Emirates flight only if you carry it in your hand luggage to avoid the risk of explosion from over-heating.
The rules on a piece of paper handed over by the security stated that you can only carry on if it is clearly marked with value <20000mAH x 5V or < 100wH. For those between 20000mAH to 32000mAH (100wH - 160wH) you have to declare and check in. Actually the rating allowed is very high, most powerbanks are much lower!
The reason behind this is that power banks contain lithium-ion batteries, which are considered dangerous goods by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Lithium-ion batteries have a high energy density and, if not handled correctly, they can pose a risk of fire or explosion.

Normally, power banks with a battery capacity lower than 27,027mAh (100 watt-hours) can be legally and safely taken on a flight. Currently, the majority of Anker power banks are within the 27,027mAh limitation. For example, you are able to bring the PowerCore III Elite 25600 60W (735 Power Bank) on a flight.
The power rating of the battery must not exceed 300Wh, or for devices fitted with two batteries, not exceed 160Wh each. Passengers are allowed to take one spare battery not exceeding 300Wh, or two spare batteries not exceeding 160Wh each. They must be carried as cabin baggage.
Spare batteries and power banks, however, always have to be transported in your carry-on baggage - never in your checked baggage - and they must be individually protected to prevent short-circuits.
The lithium battery must be easy to disconnect and remove. A maximum of two power banks or lithium-ion batteries for portable electronic devices with a capacity of 100 Wh may be carried in carry-on baggage only. They must be individually wrapped to avoid short circuits.
