Travellers at the two airports will also no longer need to remove liquids or large electronics, such as laptops and tablets, from their bags at security.
Now, the DfT is permitting airports to remove restrictions if the installation of their CT scanners has been approved.
What are the rules at other airports?
The government advises travellers to check the rules at all airports they are flying from and through. “At most airports, you cannot take liquids in containers larger than 100ml through security. This still applies if the container is only part full,” it adds.

At airports where travellers do have to remove liquids from their hand luggage, all containers must fit in one see-through, resealable bag, no larger than 20cm by 20cm. Some also specify that passengers can only bring a total of one litre of liquids through security. Large electrical items must be removed from carry-on luggage for security checks at these airports.
Those that have CT scanners and already let travellers keep liquids and large electronics in their hand luggage could potentially lift the 100ml restriction in future.
What are the rules internationally?
The government advice states: “Countries outside the UK might have different rules on carrying liquids as a transit or transfer passenger. You should check these rules with the relevant airlines and airports before travelling.”
