Teeside is also using new technology, meaning passengers there do not need to remove liquids, tablets, laptops and other electronic items from their hand luggage for security checks.
When passengers reach London City Airport's security area, high-tech CT scanners will take high-resolution 3D images to check hand baggage and clothing for any dangerous or banned foods.
It means travellers can now leave up to two litres of liquid in their hand luggage at security, along with all electronics. Since a terrorist threat in 2006, liquids have been limited in volume to 100ml and passengers have had to placed them in a clear plastic bag. The rule was aimed at stopping liquid explosives from being carried onto planes.
But this will no longer be a requirement, with Transport Secretary Mark Harper saying in December that most major airports will roll out the new technology this year.
