Edinburgh Airport liquid limit increased from 100ml to two litres

  • On July 7, 2025, Edinburgh Airport became the first Scottish airport to relax the restrictions on carrying liquids in hand luggage, allowing containers larger than 100ml following the installation of new security technology.
  • The removal follows the 2006 introduction of the rule, which was enacted after a foiled terrorist plot targeting flights with liquid explosives.
  • This change allows passengers to carry up to two litres of liquids in their hand luggage and keep large electronics like laptops in bags without removal.
  • Edinburgh Airport installed eight new x-ray scanners costing £24 million and expanded security lanes in April to support the updated security screening using 3D technology.
  • The upgrade aims to maintain high safety standards and speed up security, though passengers are advised to check liquid rules at destination airports, as not all have lifted the 100ml restriction.
