In a significant shift in airport security protocols, the European Union is set to relax its longstanding restrictions on liquids carried by passengers. Currently, travelers are limited to bringing only 100 milliliters of liquid in containers onto airplanes. However, this rule is expected to change in the coming days as advanced scanning technology is introduced at selected airports.
Authorities in Brussels have confirmed that the new regulations will be implemented shortly, following initial reports from the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. The rollout will begin in Italy, where airports in Milan, Rome, Bergamo, Catania, Bologna, and Turin are equipped with the new Smiths Detection Hi-Scan 6040 CTiX scanners.
The new scanning devices will allow for the safe transport of liquids, aerosols, and gels up to 2 liters in volume, effectively doubling the previous limit. This development has been welcomed by the Airports Council International (ACI) Europe, a leading organization representing airport operators, which noted the positive implications for passenger convenience and security.
Authorities have indicated that the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) is expected to approve an updated algorithm for these scanners, which have demonstrated a high level of accuracy in detecting liquid explosives during testing. With these enhancements, the EU aims to improve the travel experience while maintaining stringent safety standards.
While this new approach is promising, it has been reported that other manufacturers of scanning technology are also working on enhancing their devices. However, the ACI has expressed concerns regarding the timeline for certification of these other machines, citing uncertainty about when they will meet regulatory standards.
The number of airports in Germany that will adopt this new technology and regulations remains unclear, but the changes are anticipated to enhance security and efficiency in air travel across Europe.
