Gatwick Airport Introduces CT Scanners, Streamlining Security for Passengers

Passengers at Gatwick can now keep liquids and electronics in carry-on bags, but 100ml liquid limits remain at airports without the new technology.

Gatwick Airport has successfully implemented CT scanners, allowing passengers to leave liquids and electronics in their hand luggage during security checks.
Despite the new scanners, the 100ml liquid limit is still in effect at Gatwick and other UK airports without the upgraded technology.
The UK government plans to complete the nationwide rollout of CT scanners by June 2025, potentially removing the 100ml liquid restriction entirely.
The 100ml limit was reinstated at some UK and EU airports due to high rejection rates of CT scanners, which caused operational delays.
Passengers are advised to check airport-specific security rules before traveling, as requirements currently vary depending on scanner availability.
