AN airport in the UK has confirmed that the strict liquid rules won't be scrapped in time for the summer holidays. New CT scanners being rolled out across the UK are set to make it much easier for Brits travelling with hand luggage . The new system will allow holidaymakers to not only leave their liquids in their bag, rather than take them all out, but will be able to take more than 100ml .
Rather than fit the tiny bottles in a small plastic bag, new rules will allow up to 2l of liquids instead. The UK government initially gave a deadline of June 2024 for all UK airports to roll this out, with only a handful meeting the deadline . And Edinburgh Airport has warned travellers they won't be lifting the rules until after the summer holidays .
In response to someone on social media, a spokesperson said: "Please prepare for security as normal and continue to follow the 100ml liquid rules. "New scanners are being installed at security however this is an ongoing process and the rules will not change this summer ." Sun Travel has contacted Edinburgh Airport for additional comment.
A number of UK airports met the deadline for scrapping the liquid rules. Teesside Airport was the first airport to do so back in 2023, followed by London City Airport and Aberdeen Airport earlier this year. And Birmingham Airport became the first major UK airport to do so last month, with Bristol Airport confirming they would follow suit on June 14.
However, last month the government rolled back the rules at.
