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.
As Typhoon Dolphin brings increasingly strong winds and heavy rainfall to Shanghai, the Shanghai Airport Authority (AVINEX) has stepped up preparations and implemented comprehensive measures at Pudong Airport and Hongqiao Airport to guarantee safe operations and maintain smooth travel for passengers.

The two airports experienced varying degrees of flight delays due to the typhoon. To support affected passengers, more than 1,000 seats have been made available across more than 10 free rest areas in the terminals, with additional temporary rest areas to be opened when needed.
Catering and retail outlets have also stocked up on hot meals, drinking water, snacks and daily necessities, while some restaurants have extended their operating hours according to flight conditions — ensuring services remain available even when flights are delayed.
Both airports are also increasing check-in counters and security lanes according to passenger flows, while strengthening taxi and ride-hailing coordination and arranging shuttle buses when necessary to help passengers leave the airport efficiently.

Emergency drainage preparations and personnel relocation at construction sites were also completed. Airport, airline and air traffic control authorities jointly reviewed flight plans to maintain safe operations while supporting passenger travel as much as possible.
