Edinburgh Airport installs scanners, allows liquids in bags

Edinburgh Airport has completed the installation of eight advanced 3D scanners as part of a £24 million project, allowing passengers to keep liquids and large electronics in their bags during security screening. While liquids must still be under 100ml, there is no longer a requirement for single-use plastic bags, enhancing sustainability and convenience for travelers. The upgrade, which adds two new security lanes, is expected to speed up security checks, with 97% of passengers now passing through in under ten minutes. Airport officials emphasize that the 3D scanning technology both modernizes the process and maintains high safety standards, offering a faster and more secure experience for the millions who use the airport annually.
