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.
China Southern Airlines became the latest carrier to join Shanghai Pudong International Airport's seamless transfer program on July 27, launching through-check transfer services on routes between Chinese cities and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam via Shanghai.

Eligible passengers can complete check-in once, receive boarding passes for both flights, and have their checked baggage transferred directly to their destination, with no re-check-in or baggage reclaim required.
During their stopover at Pudong Airport, they can proceed through a dedicated transfer channel for immigration clearance and security screening before heading directly to their departure gate.
The streamlined process reduces transfer time by around 60 minutes compared with conventional transit procedures.
This transfer service program was launched by Pudong Airport earlier this year. With the addition of China Southern Airlines, the program now covers eight airlines – also including China Eastern Airlines, Air China, Juneyao Airlines, Spring Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Delta Air Lines and Air France-KLM - offering international and domestic transfers with one-time check-in and through-checked baggage, further strengthening Shanghai's role as a leading international aviation hub.
