Airports Council International expect ‘significant operational strain’ at European airports
Travellers flying to and from Europe this autumn may face lengthy delays as security liquid limits are reinstated at aviation hubs.
Liquids, aerosols and gels (LAGs), as well as pastes, lotions and cosmetics, must be 100ml at all EU airports from 1 September 2024.
The European Commission announced it will “temporarily” reintroduce the restriction on liquids carried in hand luggage on 31 July.
No container for any LAG can be above 100ml, and at most airports must be carried within a resealable clear plastic bag with a maximum volume of one litre.
Europe’s branch of Airports Council International (ACI) predicts that the move will result in “significant operational strain” and “the deployment of additional staff”.
