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.
Pudong Airport Phase IV expansion reached a major milestone as the steel roof installation for the international terminal building officially began on Feb 1. Terminal 3 (T3) has now entered the core steel structure installation stage.

The T3 terminal, located south of Terminals 1 and 2, is designed to handle 50 million passengers annually. Once completed, it will boost the airport's total capacity to 130 million, in line with Shanghai’s strategic air transport development goals.
The steel roof, forming the terminal's soaring, bird-like exterior, is its defining architectural highlight. Its installation marks a key milestone, ensuring the iconic shape takes form while enhancing structural safety and visual impact.
T3's steel structure weighs 202,000 metric tons and features major components such as curved main trusses and innovative bird-shaped columns. Each column is made of high-strength steel, with single castings weighing up to 55 tons — a first in China.
The columns adopt a four-forked spatial curved-torsion structure design, a pioneering application in China. [Photo/WeChat account of AVINEX]
Advanced construction methods, including synchronized hydraulic jacks and BIM digital simulation, have been applied. These techniques improve efficiency, enable millimeter-level precision, and reduce high-altitude welding by nearly 40 percent, thereby supporting high-quality construction.
