US EditionHeathrow scraps 100ml liquid container limit
Heathrow's £1 billion investment in advanced 3D CT scanners allows liquids up to 2 litres in cabin bags, saving 16 million plastic bags annually, improving passenger flow and security.
- On Friday, London Heathrow Airport completed a 1 billion upgrade of scanners, allowing liquids up to 2 litres to stay in cabin bags, replacing the 100ml previous limit.
- After years of delays, the rollout suffered supply-chain delays and airports granted extensions last year to meet government deadlines.
- The scanners should allow security lanes to process thousands of passengers an hour with greater efficiency while Heathrow estimates the change will avoid almost 16 million single‑use plastic bags a year across T2, T3, T4 and T5.
