London City Airport scraps 100ml liquid rule
The 100 ml liquid rule for air travellers is now history at London City Airport.
The rollout of high-tech CT scanners means travelers are no longer required to limit liquids to 100ml in carry-on bags.
It is the second airport after Teeside and the first in the capital to officially launch CT scanners for passenger screening.
The scanners allow for clearer, 3D imaging.
The government wants all major UK airports to install the machines by mid-2024.
London City Airport travellers now do not have to remove liquids, laptops and other electronic gadgets from their hand baggage.
The liquid limit is now up to 2L in hand baggage, and don’t require it to be placed in clear plastic bag.
Trials of the machines have been taking place at other airports including London Heathrow, Gatwick and Birmingham
