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 Hongqiao was recently recognized by the National Development and Reform Committee and the Civil Aviation Administration of China as the country's leading provider for aviation services.
Hongqiao will serve as a demonstration zone for the development of China's aviation economy, striving to become an international hub boasting global aviation enterprises.

Last year the Hongqiao Central Business District (CBD) launched its 13th Five-Year Plan, according to which the eastern area of Hongqiao is aimed to become a world-class cluster for aviation companies and aviation service organizations.
In 2016, Shanghai became China's first city to top 100 million air passengers, and the world's fifth to reach the same milestone following Atlanta, London, New York and Tokyo.
The Hongqiao International Airport in Shanghai has maintained steady growth in passenger throughput, aircraft movements and cargo traffic throughout the year.

To date, airlines headquartered at the newly established aviation demonstration zone in Hongqiao, with most flights operating from Hongqiao International Airport, account for 60 percent of the total airlines currently headquartered in Shanghai.
Covering half of the total area of the demonstration zone, the airport has gathered more than 100 aviation enterprises engaged in administration, sales, passenger transport, airfreight, maintenance, security, ticket distribution and other general aviation services.
