Nonetheless, bringing fruits with high water content (like coconut) or strong odours (like durian and jackfruit) is prohibited. You can place them in your checked luggage. However, pack them carefully and ensure they don't smell, or your stuff will have an unpleasant odour and risk of being confiscated.

Jackfruit itself is not universally "banned" by international aviation authorities, but it is frequently restricted or prohibited by individual airlines and public transit systems due to its extremely potent and lingering odor. While often confused with the durian—which is the "king of fruits" famously banned in hotels and aircraft across Southeast Asia for its "rotting onions" smell—jackfruit also has a very strong, sweet, and musky scent that can be overwhelming in the confined, recirculated air of an airplane cabin. If a jackfruit is overripe, its smell can permeate the upholstery and luggage of other passengers, leading to significant discomfort. Additionally, some confusion exists in travel news regarding "flammable" fruits; while coconuts (specifically dried copra) are restricted by IATA because they can spontaneously combust due to high oil content, jackfruit and durian restrictions are almost entirely about passenger comfort and hygiene. If a passenger manages to bring a pungent fruit on board, it has been known to cause flight delays as crews must remove the item and deodorize the cabin to satisfy complaining travelers.
