The changes will see the 100ml liquid rule increased to two litres, and passengers won't need to remove electrical items from bags
Some security rules on liquids and items such as laptops in airport hand luggage will be scrapped in 2024.
The changes will see the 100ml liquid rule increased to two litres and mean passengers won't need to remove electrical items from bags at security.Passengers are currently required to remove items such as tablets, laptops and liquids from their hand luggage while going through security checks at airports.
The limits have been in place since November 2006 and their introduction marked the end of a ban on liquids in the cabin imposed three months earlier, when British police said they had foiled a plot to blow up as many as 10 planes using explosives hidden in drinks bottles.
Transport Secretary Mark Harper said the new technology would reduce queue times to improve the "passenger experience, and most importantly detecting potential threats".Christopher Snelling, policy director at the Airport Operators Association, which represents UK airports, added the investment was a "great step forward for UK air travel, matching the best in class around the world".
