UK airport makes huge change to hand luggage – and it could save you time A UK airport has made a major change to its hand luggage procedure when going through security at the airport.
New technology at Cardiff Airport means that travellers will now be able to leave their electronics and liquids under 100ml in their hand luggage as they pass through security.
The Next Generation Security scanners are now fully operational at Cardiff, the airport confirmed, after failing to meet the Government's original deadline of June 1, 2024.
Spencer Birns, CEO of Cardiff Airport, said: “I would like to say a special thank you to our teams for working tirelessly to deliver this project.
Previously, passengers carrying any liquids, aerosols and gels in containers up to 100ml would have to remove them from their hand luggage, place them inside a one-litre transparent bag and take them out of their carry-on.
