Overview

• Edinburgh and Birmingham airports have activated Next Generation Security Checkpoints that lift the 100ml hand luggage cap and permit liquid containers up to two litres
• The Department for Transport instructs passengers to assume the 100ml restriction applies unless their departure airport explicitly confirms larger allowances
• Manchester Airport Group’s Manchester, Stansted and East Midlands terminals use the new scanners but continue enforcing the 100ml rule until formal DfT clearance
• Liverpool John Lennon and Newcastle International airports have installed advanced screening equipment but remain under the 100ml limit pending official approval
• Supply-chain bottlenecks, regulatory testing and infrastructure upgrades have caused a staggered rollout, prompting travellers to verify liquid rules with each airport before flying
