London City Airport has scrapped the 100ml limit on liquids in hand luggage. It is the first in the UK to make the change since the rules were put in place in 2006, the Metro reports.
The move - which comes just ahead of the Easter holiday period - is possible thanks to computerised tomography (CT) scans, much like those which are used in hospitals. It will allow staff to take a detailed 3D look at what is in people's hand luggage.
It is understood that a new limit of two litres (2000mls) will be introduced. It also means passengers will also no longer have to place creams and cosmetic items in a plastic bag when going through security.
