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 Pudong and Hongqiao airports recorded 2.94 million passenger trips during the National Day holiday from Oct 1 to 7, averaging 420,000 a day, up 3.3 percent year-on-year. Flight movements totaled 17,000, an increase of 2.6 percent.
The airports launched a series of cultural and science-popularization events to enhance the passenger experience. Pudong Airport hosted an exhibition featuring a 24-meter-long fin whale skeleton, which quickly became a popular photo spot. Hongqiao Airport hosted a butterfly exhibition, and both sites staged festive performances and interactive activities.

Promotions fueled a surge in holiday spending. In partnership with China Duty Free Group, the airports launched autumn sales. New duty-free outlets — including an Apple shop and a multibrand store selling beauty products and premium fragrances — attracted young shoppers. Lucky draws and coupons further boosted spending.
During the return travel peak on Oct 6, the airports upgraded services for seniors, families, and passengers with pets, and coordinated ground transport for seamless transfers.
