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.

Shanghai's Hongqiao airport cuts cut-off time for domestic travelers
Released:2025-10-29

To further enhance passengers' travel experience, Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport has shortened the cut-off time for all domestic flights to under 30 minutes starting October 28 for passengers without checked luggage, according to the Shanghai Airport (Group) Co Ltd.

Among them, passengers flying with Spring Airlines to destinations within the Chinese mainland will see the cut-off time further shortened to 25 minutes.

The cut-off time refers to the latest point at which passengers can complete check-in and baggage procedures for a flight. Earlier in January, Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport had reduced the cut-off time for domestic flights to less than 35 minutes, down from 45 minutes in June 2024.

The series of reductions in cut-off time will give passengers more flexibility when completing check-in procedures. Cut-off time is designed to ensure airports and airlines have sufficient time to complete a dozen pre-flight tasks, helping guarantee flight safety and on-time departure.
