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.

On Sept 18 at 10:45 am, 251 priceless Egyptian artifacts packed in 71 crates, weighing 30.1 metric tons, left Shanghai on Cathay flight CX3255. The Shanghai Airport Authority, or AVINEX, in cooperation with customs and the airline, opened a green channel to ensure a smooth and secure shipment.
AVINEX assembled a dedicated logistics team with freight and ground service companies, developing customized transport and emergency plans. Key staff members oversaw the entire process to ensure there were no errors, delays or damage during shipping.

Three days before departure, Shanghai Pudong International Airport's cargo terminal completed document checks and activated a fast-track security lane for customs clearance. A dedicated work area was set up for packing, storage, and transfer. Crates underwent multiple inspections, and the quickest airside route was planned to minimize vibrations.
Ground crews followed a smooth, secure, and stable protocol, using shock-resistant vehicles and supervising the process from transfer to loading.
