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.
China Eastern Airlines' inaugural direct flight MU785 from Shanghai to Venice took off at 00:50 on Sept 26 from Shanghai Pudong International Airport, carrying nearly 230 passengers. This marks the first regular direct flight between China and Italy's Venice, offering a new travel option for the upcoming National Day holiday.
During the Shanghai-Venice Inaugural Flight Ceremony, Qin Yun, president of the Shanghai Airport Authority, emphasized the collaborative efforts of both Shanghai and Venice airports in establishing direct flight connections and the significance of the new route in enhancing exchanges and economic interactions between the two cities.
Wan Qingchao, deputy general manager of China Eastern Airlines, highlighted the company's commitment to expanding its global network. The Shanghai-Venice route, utilizing an Airbus A330 with high-speed WiFi, represents a major milestone in their international route expansion. The recent extension of China's visa exemption policy for Italian citizens until 2025 is expected to further boost travel and economic exchanges.
The MU785 and MU786 flights operate three times a week on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The outbound flight departs Shanghai at 00:50, arriving in Venice at 07:50 local time. The return flight leaves Venice at 11:30, landing in Shanghai the next calendar day at 05:30.
