A UK airport has become the first in the country to scrap the 100ml limit on liquids in hand luggage - and Newcastle is set to follow.
London City Airport has changed its rules in time for the Easter holidays. This comes after the Government announced it had set a deadline of June 2024 for UK airports to install new security technology, bringing an end to the 100ml limit on liquids in hand luggage.
In the future passengers should be able to bring containers carrying up to two litres of liquid in their hand luggage, after restrictions are removed. The new security technology involves using computerised tomography (CT) scans to take a 3D image of the contents of the hand luggage.
