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 has introduced three new air-rail intermodal freight services to improve its airport cargo gateway, boosting speed, reducing costs and increasing connectivity for high-value, time-sensitive shipments at Pudong and Hongqiao airports.
Announced on Dec 16 by the Shanghai Air-Rail Intermodal Service Center, the initiative is jointly led by Shanghai International Port (Group) Co, China Eastern Airlines, Shanghai Airport Authority, China Railway Shanghai Group and China Railway Express.
Air-rail intermodal transport merges the global reach of aviation with the extensive rail network, offering faster transit than air-road alternatives and more cost-effective than air-air transfers, making it an ideal solution for e-commerce, express parcels, and premium manufacturing cargo.
The three products serve different shipment sizes. Scheduled high-speed rail serves small, urgent international parcels under 25 kilograms. Consolidated wagon targets mid-volume shipments under 50 kilograms with moderate transit times. Express freight train handles bulk cargo under one metric ton per item, efficiently supporting larger consignments.
With these services, cargo across the Yangtze River Delta can be delivered to Pudong and Hongqiao airports on the same day, facilitating complete terminal handling and quick connections to outbound international flights.
Since its establishment in January 2024, the service center has developed nine air-rail corridors linking Shanghai to cities including Hefei, Jinhua and Guangzhou. From January to November 2025, it handled a total of 1,460 tons of cargo, a 146 percent increase year on year, reflecting the rapid adoption of Shanghai's integrated air-rail freight model.
