European airports have been informed that they will have to reinforce the 100ml rule on liquid containers being taken onboard aircraft from 1 September.

Some airports have been able to lift this longstanding rule on liquids in hand luggage, thanks to the installation of new scanners, known as Explosive Detection Systems for Cabin Baggage (EDSCB) scanners.
