Dublin Airport is fully confident it will be ready to remove the current 100ml liquid rule – at security screening – when the EU scraps current regulation, with the roll-out of its new state-of-the-art baggage scanners progressing well.

Dublin Airport spokesperson, Graeme McQueen said: “The temporary EU regulation that requires liquids to come out of bags, at security screening, remains in place. While we’re hopeful this rule will change soon, we await confirmation from our regulators. Until then, liquids need to be 100mls or under and they need to come out of bags for screening.”

“Our roll-out of new C3 scanners is going really well and will be totally finished in both terminals later this year, which will put us in a position to remove the 100ml limit altogether and mean that liquids can stay in bags at security screening, subject to regulatory approval and also the removal of the EU’s temporary rule,” Mr McQueen added.
