Assume 100ml liquid limit remains, flyers told after airports change rules
Published: 7/8/2025

Transport Secretary advises air passengers to stick to the 100ml liquid rule for airport security despite Edinburgh and Birmingham airports installing scanners allowing bottles of up to two litres. The new CT X-ray technology scanners eliminate the need for clear plastic bags for toiletries. Airports are undergoing complex installations, with limited scanner manufacturers causing delays. Flyers are urged to check with airlines and airports for the latest security policies as liquid restrictions evolve inconsistently across Europe and abroad.
