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's aviation industry gained momentum in November, fueled by strong domestic demand and a quicker international rebound. Passenger throughput at Pudong and Hongqiao airports increased by 11.2 percent year-on-year, while cargo and mail volumes grew by 13.4 percent.
In November, the two airports recorded 69,000 flight movements — 46,000 at Pudong Airport and 23,000 at Hongqiao Airport. They served 11.142 million passengers and handled 433,000 metric tons of cargo and mail. Immigration traffic rose to 3.508 million, a 19.7 percent increase due to expanded visa-free access.
From January to November, the two airports handled 770,000 flights, served 124 million passengers, and processed 4.129 million tons of cargo and mail, increasing by 4.7 percent, 8.5 percent, and 7.7 percent respectively. International passenger volume reached 37.974 million, rising by 19.5 percent.
Shanghai also expanded its route network this year, adding intercontinental connections to Belgrade, Casablanca, and Geneva, resuming flights to Cheongju and Manado, increasing frequencies to Kuala Lumpur, and opening Central Asian routes to Shymkent, Almaty, Tashkent, and Ulaanbaatar.
On Dec 4, Pudong Airport launched the world's longest one-way commercial route — Shanghai — Auckland — Buenos Aires — further strengthening Shanghai's global network and boosting its role as a comprehensive international aviation gateway. The expanded services are expected to increase trade in high-value agricultural and precision products, and to stimulate tourism between the regions.
