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.
Passengers flying between Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport and Beijing Capital International Airport can now change their tickets between different airlines, following the launch of a new trial service on May 6, according to Shanghai Airport (Group) Co Ltd.
As part of efforts to improve express flights between Beijing and Shanghai, Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport has launched the flight change service in collaboration with China Eastern Airlines and Air China. The trial will run until August, with plans to refine the service based on passenger feedback, according to Shanghai Airport (Group).
Passengers holding one-way tickets between Shanghai Hongqiao and Beijing Capital airports with a discount of 40 percent or less can switch to flights operated by either China Eastern or Air China on the same day, after paying the fare difference.
Nearly 80 flights operate daily between Shanghai Hongqiao and Beijing Capital airports, making it the busiest air route in China. As about 90 percent of these flights are run by China Eastern or Air China, the new service is expected to better meet the needs of business travelers and frequent fliers, offering a more secure, convenient, and efficient travel experience.
