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 Pudong International Airport (PVG) launched direct flights from Shanghai to Tel Aviv, Israel on Sep 12.
The maiden flight, Flight HU407, carried 242 passengers to the Jewish capital.
Tel Aviv is Shanghai's fifth waypoint in the Middle East. The flight takes off on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday on regularly basis.
Israel is an important country along the Belt and Road. China and Israel have developed good relationships since they established diplomatic relations in 1950, and China is Israel’s biggest trading partner in Asia. The people-to-people and cultural exchanges between the two sides are increasing as a more flexible visa policy came into effect on Nov 11, 2016.
Shanghai and Israel also have special relations, as many Israelis took sanctuary in Shanghai during the Second World War. Tel Aviv is an economic and commercial center in Israel. The new flight route is expected to promote tourism and trade exchanges between the two countries.
PVG is making efforts to become a world-class aviation center by improving its airline network and exploring more international remote flights. In 2017, PVG has opened flights to Montreal, France and Barcelona, Spain and added more flights to Mexico city, Mexico and Saint Petersburg, US.
