Another day and more long queues for waiting passengers at Birmingham Airport due to the 100ml allowance change and new baggage detection systems installed.
Birmingham Airport has recruited dozens of staff in a bid to battle with growing travel chaos due to confusion over the 100ml liquid rules.
Another, who raised a complaint, said: 'Due to security checkin delay, Me and my wife missed the flight despite arriving 2.5 hours before scheduled flight time.' 'Baggage dropoff quite quick with @jet2tweets and was through security by 6.10. Earliest I've ever been given flight is 8.30.' Mr Barton also revealed that key features such as escalators had been removed for health and safety reasons and would be replaced by lifts.
He added that passengers were made to queue outside to reduce panic and crowding inside and explained: 'It is much nicer to queue outside as much as we regret the perception that this has on the passengers.' Birmingham Airport said the extra 'third-party customer service specialists' would explain current rules which should help passenger queues
It should have meant the rules were changed on June 1 so passengers could carry liquids up to two litres in their hand luggage.
