Airports will abolish the rule of 100 ml in hand luggage
Airports in some European countries are beginning to lift restrictions on carrying liquids of no more than 100 ml in hand luggage, Euronews reports.
Despite the fact that the change will not affect the reliability of flights, according to the UK Department of Transport, it will simplify security checks, reduce waiting time in line and make travel more convenient for passengers.
New advanced security scanners from Smiths Detection will be used for this purpose. The machines use computed tomography technology, which allows you to get a clear 3D image of the contents of passengers' bags.
The new technology will also save money, as travelers will be able to take drinks with them on board without relying on expensive cafes and airport shops.
Security scanners are already in use at Teesside International Airport in northeast England, 10 km from Darlington, Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and Leonardo da Vinci Rome-Fiumicino International Airport.
The scanners have been tested at London's Gatwick and Heathrow airports. The UK will install the new security technology by June 2024.
Once the scanners are installed, the 100 ml rule will be phased out over two years.
The restriction on carrying liquids of no more than 100 ml in hand luggage has been in effect since 2006.
