A NUMBER OF UK AIRPORTS ARE SET TO SCRAP THE 100ML LIQUID LIMIT SOON 14:13, 03 Jun 2025Updated 09:58, 05 Jun 2025 Passengers travelling through certain UK airports will soon be able to carry

up to two litres of liquids in their hand luggage. This is due to the upcoming implementation of new 3D security scanners, which will lead to some airports ditching the 100ml liquid limit -

a rule that's been around since 2006. Those arriving or departing from the UK can anticipate more streamlined security checks as these new 3D CT scanners begin to replace older systems

at ten major airports. The long-standing rule restricting liquids to 100ml in hand luggage is currently still in place until the new systems are brought in. These advanced security scanners

meant that the 100ml limit was discontinued at certain airports in the summer of 2024 following the installation of new scanners However, the DfT temporarily reintroduced the 100ml liquid

rule at all UK airports, and the deadline was pushed back to June 2025. This was largely because of delays experienced at security checks at various airports when additional scanners were

introduced. Article continues below Should the airports be able to stick to the June 2025 deadline, passengers can soon expect to keep their liquids in their hand luggage, eliminating the

need for a separate resealable plastic bag. Travellers are also allowed to leave laptops and other electronic devices in their bags. The latest state-of-the-art CT scanners have been

engineered with superior 3D imaging technology. Unlike traditional X-ray machines that produce two-dimensional images, these new scanners create a more detailed, rotatable 3D visualisation

of your luggage. Since the introduction of the 100ml liquid limit in 2006, travellers have become accustomed to unpacking their bags at security checkpoints. However, these innovative

scanners aim to revolutionise this process, saving time and reducing stress at airport security. For those airports yet to upgrade to the new 3D security scanners, the 100ml liquid

restriction remains in place. This regulation stipulates that every liquid container in your hand luggage must not exceed 100ml. All liquid containers must be kept in a single clear,

resealable plastic bag. The bag should not exceed dimensions of 20cm x 20cm and must have a maximum capacity of one litre. Certain liquids, such as essential medications, liquids for

specific dietary needs, and baby food or milk, are exempt from the 100ml limit. A spokesperson for the Department for Transport confirmed that the new airport security measures, including

those pertaining to liquids in hand luggage, are not being implemented nationwide, with timelines differing at each individual airport. Travellers entering and exiting the UK are encouraged

to verify the current regulations of their specific airport prior to packing to prevent any unexpected restrictions. Many airports did not meet the initial government deadline of June 2024

for installing new, enhanced security scanners. The revised deadline for airports to completely transition to these new scanners is now June 2025. Article continues below The restriction on

liquids during flights was introduced in 2006 after British police successfully thwarted an Islamist terror plot to detonate explosives on transatlantic flights. The perpetrators planned to

disguise liquid explosives as soft drinks in their carry-on luggage. _Edit: This article originally reported that several airports had updated their systems already to allow two litres

instead of one. However, all airports still follow the 100ml limit rule as they await the June 2025 changes from the DtF mentioned above._
