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 Pudong International Airport has launched 24-hour security screening for domestic departures at both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 on May 10, enhancing convenience for late-night and transit passengers.
Following a successful trial run at Terminal 1 before the recent May Day holiday, the new service allows passengers to clear security at any time on the day of their flight. They can now check in, drop off luggage, and immediately proceed to the departure lounge.
Travel boom continues
Shanghai's air traffic continues to rise this year. During the May Day holiday alone, Pudong and Hongqiao airports served nearly 1.94 million passengers — an average of 387,000 per day — a 14.1 percent year-on-year increase. Domestic traffic made up the majority, while international numbers also surged, with daily volumes up 24 percent from last year.
Improved passenger experience
In response to positive feedback, Pudong airport expanded the 24-hour security service to Terminal 2 on May 11, with checkpoint lanes dynamically adjusted based on daily passenger volumes. Additionally, Pudong airport continues to enhance its dining, shopping, and rest areas, ensuring a convenient and comfortable wait for passengers.
