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.
Central Airlines opened its first all-cargo route at Shanghai Pudong International Airport on Sept 30, adding transcontinental capacity to the city's air cargo hub.
The inaugural flight, I98812, operated by a Boeing 777 freighter, arrived from Brussels, Belgium, at 1:31 am and was greeted with a water salute, the airport's highest honor for a new service.
The route, connecting Shanghai with Brussels, is scheduled to operate three times a week, mainly carrying express parcels for DHL's North Asia Hub.
Central Airlines is a dedicated all-cargo carrier with a fleet of Boeing 737 and 777 freighters, operating more than 50 domestic and international all-cargo routes linking major hubs across North America, Europe, and Asia. Its launch at Pudong completes its cargo network coverage in the Yangtze River Delta region and adds freighter capacity at the airport, supporting efforts to strengthen Shanghai's standing as an international air cargo hub.
With this inaugural flight as a starting point, Shanghai Airport and Central Airlines will deepen their cooperation to maintain an open China-Europe air trade corridor and help foster the development of Shanghai’s international aviation hub.
Shanghai's air cargo market has grown steadily this year, with freight and mail throughput reaching 3.279 million metric tons from January to August, up 13.3 percent year-on-year. The city has brought in three all-cargo carriers — MSC Air Cargo, Challenge Airlines, and Central Airlines — to expand its global cargo route network further.
