The UK government has confirmed that rules around taking liquids and laptops through airport security will be eased from June 2024.
The announcement of the biggest relaxation of aviation security regulations in decades.
After June 2024, travellers at most major UK airports will be able to carry liquids in containers holding up to two litres, a massive increase from the current limit of 100ml.
Passengers will also no longer need to carry the containers in clear plastic bags, or remove tablets and laptops from hand luggage at checkpoints.
The Department for Transport said major airports would be required to install new technology that gives security staff more detailed images of what is in passengers’ bags.
