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.

Construction at Shanghai Pudong International Airport's Terminal 3 reached a key milestone with the hoisting of its first "bird in flight" column, marking the start of roof system installation.
The terminal adopts an integrated architectural, structural, and decorative design, using skylights, ceilings, and beam column formations to create a winged bird motif. Seventeen columns, connected by 24 trusses, form the overall winged structure.

Each column has complex geometry, made from large-curvature, double-curved steel plates and high-strength cast steel. These branch from a hexagonal base into two and then four arms, producing flowing, dynamic forms that reflect the terminal’s soaring design concept.
Weighing up to 80 metric tons, these columns use large cast steel nodes, marking a first in large-scale structural applications in China. Advanced digital construction technologies, including CNC machining, robotic welding, 3D scanning, and preassembly simulation, ensure precise fabrication and installation.
Terminal 3 is the core of Pudong Airport's Phase IV expansion, a key project under China's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) and part of the Yangtze River Delta airport cluster strategy. Designed for 50 million passengers annually, it will enhance connectivity and support airlines' long-term hub operations.
