Overview

• Some German airports say they will drop the 100‑milliliter limit locally once certified CT screening is in place, allowing larger containers in carry-ons.
• Munich Airport has 20 CT units operating in security and is testing the expanded allowance, with up to two liters permitted on lanes equipped with the new technology.
• Frankfurt Airport advises passengers to follow the old rules for now because not every security lane has CT scanners, so requirements can vary within the same terminal.
• The European Commission reauthorized specific CT configurations in July after software updates, enabling airports using approved systems to accept larger liquid volumes.
• About 700 CT scanners are being deployed across 21 EU member states, following a temporary EU reinstatement of the 100‑ml rule on September 1, 2024 pending device re-evaluation.
