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 Hongqiao International Airport has upgraded its cross-airline ticket transfer service on the Beijing-Shanghai Shuttle after a three-month trial.
Passengers flying with China Eastern Airlines or those using Air China tickets worth 80 percent or more of the full fare can now change flights without paying service fees or fare differences.
Those holding tickets worth 60-80 percent of the full fare need only pay the price difference, lowering the cost of rescheduling.
The service has also been extended to government and corporate tickets, further improving convenience for business and official travelers on the Beijing-Shanghai Shuttle.
The service was first introduced in May by Hongqiao Airport, China Eastern, Air China and Beijing Capital International Airport.
Hongqiao currently operates 16 shuttle routes to major cities including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu and Xi'an, with more than 70 percent of its total passenger volume coming from shuttle flights. The Beijing-Shanghai route alone carries over 10 million passengers annually.
At Hongqiao Airport, shuttle flight passengers enjoy dedicated check-in counters, exclusive security channels, priority boarding, priority gate access, fixed baggage carousels and guaranteed delivery of the last piece of luggage within 30 minutes.
