Safety matches are classified as dangerous goods, "U.N. 1944, Matches, safety". They are not universally forbidden on aircraft; however, they must be declared as dangerous goods and individual airlines and/or countries may impose tighter restrictions.
Special-purpose matches
Storm matches, also known as lifeboat matches or flare matches, have an easy-to-strike tip similar to a normal match, but much of the stick is coated with a combustible compound which will keep burning even in a strong wind. They have a wax coating to make them waterproof, making them a component of many survival kits. This match was used in the first mass-produced Molotov cocktails.
