Aberdeen International Airport is now equipped with the latest next-generation security checkpoint scanners, meaning travellers no longer need to remove laptops or liquids when passing through terminal security.
This means that the previous 100ml liquid rule is no longer in force with departing passengers able to carry bottles containing up to two litres in carry-on bags. Electrical items such as laptops are also able to be stored in carry-on bags.
The airport has moved to the new compliant process ahead of a UK Government deadline for installing the scanners. “We are delighted to have the next-generation security checkpoint scanners operational at Aberdeen,” said William Wallace, Security Manager, Aberdeen International Airport. “We are well ahead of the deadline set by the government thanks to all the hard work from our staff and contractors. This is one of the biggest changes in airport security, so we would ask passengers to be prepared for this new process and to have patience as we enter the biggest change in aviation security in nearly two decades.”
