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.

Pudong Airport and Hongqiao Airport will enforce the requirements of this notice to ensure passenger safety.

With support from the city's cultural, tourism, and business departments, AVINEX set up F1-themed exhibition booths and promotional areas in both international and arrival zones for Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan at Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
The displays featured F1 car models, equipment, and event schedules, while promoting Shanghai's image. The airport's international service centers and tourism desks were revamped with an F1 theme to enhance the visitor experience.
Staff members were available to provide information on event details, recommendations for cultural tourism and travel guidance. Many fans opted for nearby accommodations like Atour, which offers flexible hourly room options and discounts for holders of F1 tickets.
Chartered flights carrying supplies for the teams commenced arrivals a month before the event. Due to the high-security requirements associated with race cars and sensitive equipment, teams from AVINEX created green channels to ensure smooth logistics.
