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.
A new air route connecting Shanghai, New Zealand's Auckland, and Argentina's Buenos Aires is set to be launched this December.
Operated by China Eastern Airlines, the new route will originate from Shanghai Pudong International Airport, transit through Auckland Airport, and continue to Buenos Aires Ezeiza Airport.
The route will not only fill a gap in direct routes from Shanghai to South America but also serve as the only direct flight link between China and Argentina.
New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said at the launch ceremony on June 18 that the new route will link Auckland with the dynamic economic centers of Asia and South America. In a move to facilitate smoother travel, New Zealand will implement a visa-free transit policy for Chinese passengers passing through Auckland.
Feng Xin, chairman of the Shanghai Airport Authority, and Auckland Airport CEO Carrie Hurihanganui agreed to enhance service quality for passengers and strengthen the connectivity of flight networks between the two regions. The partnership aims to improve the accessibility and coverage of the route network, fostering a win-win partnership.
In a step to further bolster international cooperation, Chairman Feng and Christchurch Airport Board Chair Sarah Ottrey signed a memorandum of understanding. The agreement paves the way for collaboration in route development, marketing, passenger services, and air logistics. It aims to expedite the establishment of direct flights and enhance cultural and economic exchanges between the regions.
