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.

China Cargo Airlines' CA1165 flight, carrying 104 metric tons of cargo, departed from Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Miami on March 16. This development signifies a strategic increase in the frequency of the Shanghai-Miami air cargo route, enhancing trade connections to North and South America.
Miami, a key hub in the US and Latin America, now benefits from three weekly flights on this route, operated by a Boeing 777 freighter. This frequency ensures more streamlined and effective transit of Chinese goods across North America and further into to Latin America.
On another front, China Cargo Airlines has intensified its Shanghai-Liege-Madrid cargo route, enhancing service frequency from two to six weekly flights as of March 1. This boost strengthens the cargo flow between China and Europe, optimizing the supply chain for time-sensitive and high-value commodities.
On another front, MSC Air Cargo launched a new Shanghai-Milan cargo route on March 4, with two weekly flights. This route facilitates the transport of cross-border e-commerce products, electronics, and other high-value goods.
This year, Shanghai's intercontinental air cargo network continues to expand. By March, 12 additional weekly flights to Europe and the US have been added, further positioning Shanghai as a critical global cargo hub.
The expanded capacity strengthens Shanghai's role in boosting exports from the city and the Yangtze River Delta region. It also enhances Shanghai's position as a comprehensive, multi-functional international aviation hub.
