The European Commission's decision to reimpose the restriction on the amount of liquid passengers can carry in individual containers takes effect today.
Cabin restrictions limiting liquids in hand baggage to 100ml have been reintroduced across the EU. The EU Commission made the decision to re-impose the longstanding rule at the end of July, but it takes effect today. It means the limit of 100ml for every individual container will be reintroduced in airports which had been using new technology to allow passengers to bring higher volumes of liquid. The decision applies to EU airports as well as Iceland, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Norway .
The EU Commission said its decision wasn't 'in response to any new threat' but because of a temporary technical issue. It said information had indicated the scanners' performance 'did not meet the standard for which it had been approved'. It comes after plans to lift the 100ml rule across UK airports by June this year were pushed back in April.
