UK airports are criticising the reimplementation of the 100ml liquid limit following the installation of new high-tech scanning equipment in January. From midnight on Sunday, June 9, six regional airports in the UK re-introduced the liquid limit rule for passengers travelling from Aberdeen, Leeds Bradford, London City, Newcastle, Southend and Teesside airports, reported theguardian.com. While some regional airports had completed the new scanner installations and scrapped the liquid restriction, international hubs were still in the process of completing installations and were on the verge of implementing the new liquid limit. The Airport Operators Association and 30 airport executives have now written to the Department for Transport (DfT) following the re-introduction of the liquid limit rule that has left airports frustrated and passengers confused. Passengers travelling through the UK’s airports are urged to follow advisories to understand how they might be impacted.
