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 two airports will operate an expanded flight schedule from Oct 25 to March 27, 2027, adding international routes and more domestic flights, according to the airport operator.
The airports will handle an average of 2,511 flights a day during the winter-spring season, up 3.8 percent year-on-year. Pudong International Airport and Hongqiao International Airport will handle 1,709 and 802 flights, respectively.
As Shanghai's main international gateway, Pudong will open a new route to Algiers, the capital of Algeria, and increase frequencies on its services to Frankfurt, Auckland, Sydney, Singapore, Bangkok, Jeju, and Ho Chi Minh City. The Shanghai Pudong-Auckland-Buenos Aires route, the world's longest one-way commercial route operated by China Eastern Airlines, will increase from two to four flights a week starting Dec 5.
Domestically, flight frequencies will increase on routes to more than 30 cities, including Harbin, Shenyang, Beijing, Urumqi, Chengdu, Kunming, Lijiang, and Guangzhou, catering to warm-weather escapes and ice-and-snow tourism. Hongqiao airport will operate nine high-frequency domestic routes with at least 12 daily departures each.
Pudong airport’s expanded international-to-international transfer hall now offers through-checked baggage with 10 airlines, including Air China, Juneyao Air, Spring Airlines, Lufthansa, and British Airways. Foreign visitors can use free Wi-Fi and one-stop services such as currency exchange, SIM cards, and transport card purchases, with nearly 200 multilingual volunteers stationed at arrival areas and airport transport hubs.
