Civil Aviation Administration of China: Power banks without 3C certification or recalled models banned on domestic flights
To ensure the safety of aviation operations, the Civil Aviation Administration of China has issued an urgent notice. Starting June 28, passengers are prohibited from carrying power banks that lack a 3C certification label, have unclear 3C labeling, or belong to recalled models or batches on domestic flights. (For details, please visit the official website of the State Administration for Market Regulation's Defective Product Recall Technical Center at www.samrdprc.org.cn/xfpzh/xfpgnzh)
Pudong Airport and Hongqiao Airport will enforce the requirements of this notice to ensure passenger safety. We kindly ask all passengers to comply with this notice by carefully checking the certification label, brand, and model of your power banks before traveling. Please do not bring non-compliant power banks on board. Remove your power bank before security checks to prevent travel delays.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Shanghai is a leading international aviation hub in China whose annual passenger and cargo throughput ranks among the top cities in the world. Shanghai Airport Authority and Suzhou Industrial Park will reportedly jointly develop the new Suzhou terminal as a benchmark project for Shanghai Airport remote city terminals.
The terminal is being located at the core of Tianmu Street, by Jinji Lake in Suzhou. Passengers from Suzhou can reach there directly through a variety of routes. The terminal will provide ticket purchases, check-ins, baggage pre-security, baggage check-ins, VIP lounges and access, as well as door-to-door baggage and other services.
Passengers can go to Shanghai Airport by bus, customized chartered car, high-speed rail, self-driving and other transport. After arriving there they don't need to claim their baggage and can go directly to the boarding gate through fast-track lanes. Shanghai Airport will develop "digital+" and "intelligence+" application platforms to help passengers make reservations and keep abreast of the latest status of their belongings and other information at any time throughout the trip.
The project is understood to be a major initiative of Shanghai and Suzhou's urbanization. The expectation is that it will not only help improve the services of the Shanghai International Aviation Hub to the Suzhou area, but promote the deeper integration and development of Shanghai and the Suzhou Industrial Park in the fields of transportation, logistics, business travel and exhibitions.
It is also seen as further enhancing the open window functions of the Suzhou Industrial Park – as well as helping promote the agglomeration and development of the commerce, tourism, tax-free shopping and aviation-related industries.
