After nearly two decades, Europe’s strict limits on liquids in carry\u2011on baggage are finally being lifted at airports. Two United Kingdom airports, Birmingham Airport (BHX) and Edinburgh Airport (EDI), have already scrapped the previous restrictions, and other airports across the continent are expected to follow suit in short order.<\/p>\n

The relaxed guidelines are due to next-generation computed tomography security scanners that offer more reliable scans of liquids inside luggage than current technology at security checkpoints. Passengers traveling out of airports with the new rules will now be able to carry up to 2 liters of wine, olive oil, perfume and other liquids in their carry-on bags.<\/p>\n

Another benefit for passengers who encounter these new scanners is that they will no longer have to remove items like laptops and tablets from their carry-ons, which should help expedite the security process.<\/p>\n

Change won’t happen overnight at all of Europe’s airports, however. The rollout of the relaxed new guidelines depends on which aviation hubs have installed the new scanners. It is not mandatory that all airports install the machines, and given their high cost, some airports may choose not to do it. For example, London’s Heathrow Airport (LHR), Europe’s busiest airport, has not installed the new tech yet. Officials say it will cost more than $1 billion to equip all Heathrow checkpoints with the new scanners.<\/p>\n
