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 further streamlined transfers between its two airports, making it easier for travelers arriving at Pudong to connect to domestic flights from Hongqiao.
A check-in counter for flights departing from the Hongqiao International Airport opened at Terminal 2 of the Pudong International Airport on Nov 2. Passengers arriving at Pudong and transferring to a domestic flight at Hongqiao can check in and drop off their baggage there for same-day Hongqiao flights, so they can transfer hands-free.
The counter serves passengers transferring to domestic flights operated by seven airlines: Air China, Shenzhen Airlines, Shandong Airlines, Hainan Airlines, Xizang Airlines, Tianjin Airlines, and Lucky Air.
The opening of the Airport Link Line has reduced travel time between the two airports to about 40 minutes.
Last year, China Eastern Airlines upgraded its inter-airport transfer service using the Airport Link Line. Eligible passengers can complete check-in and drop off their baggage at their departure airport. After arriving at Hongqiao, they can travel to Pudong and board their international flight without reclaiming their baggage.
The corresponding cross-airport check-in counter for flights departing from Pudong is scheduled to open at Hongqiao in December.
Passengers are advised to check with their airline for minimum connection times and baggage rules before using the counter.
