From 1 September, all airports across the bloc will require passengers to limit their liquids to just 100ml each
which will see air passengers no longer allowed to carry any liquids measuring more than 100ml in their hand luggage.
Effective from 1 September, the Commission says it’s a “precautionary measure” and will apply to all EU airports – including those which have installed new-generation C3 scanning equipment for hand luggage. Despite being praised for cutting down queue times and delays at airports where it is currently in effect, the EU has decided to suspend the practice “on the basis of information indicating that the performance thereof did not meet the standard for which it had been approved”.The DfT said it was a temporary measure “to enable further improvements to be made to the new checkpoint systems” – but, as yet, no timeline is in place as to when the ruling might be lifted.
While the initial EU plan was to phase out the 100ml rule over time, the new announcement will likely cause dismay for travellers and airport staff.
