Overview

• Birmingham and Edinburgh have abolished the 100ml liquid restriction for hand luggage, allowing containers of up to two litres.
• Milan Linate, Malpensa Terminal 1, Rome, Berlin and Amsterdam have begun extending the two-litre allowance under new European Commission regulations.
• Airports deploy ECAC-approved CT X-ray scanners that generate 3D images to detect liquid threats without limiting container size.
• London Heathrow and other major hubs plan multi-hundred-million-pound investments in scanner upgrades, resulting in a staggered and voluntary adoption.
• Passengers are advised to confirm liquid rules at both departure and arrival airports to avoid unexpected restrictions during security screening.
