First UK airport scraps 100ml liquid rule – and more set to follow in 2024

London City Airport has scrapped the 100ml rule when passing through security from today.

The change comes as the airport begins to use its new higher tech CT scanners.

This means that you can now take more liquids on board – up to two litres instead of one – and you don’t need to get them out of your bag to scan.

Equally, laptops and other tech don’t need to be placed separately on the tray and can be left in your cabin bag.

The original liquids and electronic rules came into place in 2006 after a plot to bring down flights was discovered.

Now, the government has told all UK airports that they must change over to the new CT scanners by June 2024.
