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 and Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport handled 1.907 million passenger trips during the five-day May Day holiday from May 1 to 5, with 12,000 flights, figures largely flat compared with the same period last year.

The "First Cup of Coffee in Shanghai" campaign, held at Pudong Airport Terminal 1 and Hongqiao Airport Terminal 2 arrival halls from May 1 to 5, offered 800 complimentary cups of freshly brewed coffee daily.

Ahead of the holiday, Shanghai Airport Authority (AVINEX) launched "cross-airline, cross-terminal" transfer services in partnership with China Eastern Airlines and Juneyao Airlines. The service launched on the Qingdao-Shanghai-Singapore route, allowing passengers to transit without reclaiming luggage or rechecking in — a "one check-in, baggage through-check, seamless transfer" experience.

During the holiday's return peak, the airports coordinated with metro, bus and taxi services, adding train services and extending operating hours when needed.
