Liquids can stay in hand luggage at Cardiff Airport
New technology means passengers at Cardiff Airport will now be able to leave electronics and liquids under 100ml in their hand luggage as they pass through security.
The Next Generation Security scanners are now fully operational at the site, the airport confirmed, following cost-related delays which saw it fail to meet the UK government’s initial 1 June deadline.
Cardiff is one of several airports which applied for an extension to allow it to install the scanners.
The Welsh government, as the sole investor in the airport, previously said it would allocate £6.6m “to address the cost challenges” of bringing in the new equipment.
