# Carry-On Liquid Rules Reinstated at Six UK Airports
by [Shayla Peacock](https://blog.atlastravel.com/author/shayla-peacock)
June 10, 2024 9:15 AM
As of June 9, The U.K. Department for Transport (DfT) has temporarily reintroduced restrictions on carrying liquids over 100 ml in carry-on luggage at six airports: *Newcastle International (NCL), Leeds Bradford (LBA), London City (LCY), Aberdeen International (ABZ), London Southend (SEN) and Teesside International (MME)*.
These airports had previously scrapped the 100 ml liquid rule after installing a new high-tech Computed Tomography (CT) scanner called Next Generation Security Checkpoints (NGSC). However, the DfT stated that reintroducing the rule is not due to a specific threat but will instead allow more time for further improvements to the new scanning systems.
“We’ve reintroduced that rule while updates and changes are made to the scanning equipment at airports to make sure we can continue delivering our world-leading levels of aviation security. It’s a temporary measure and we will set out when that can be reversed in due course,” said UK Transport Secretary, Mark Harper.
Meanwhile, Bristol Airport had plans to remove the 100 ml liquid rule on June 14 but now the launch will be delayed. Most U.K. airports, including London Gatwick, Heathrow and Manchester still enforce the restriction as they have not yet upgraded to the new scanners.
The new CT scanners, similar to X-ray scanners used in hospitals, provide 3D images but are heavier and bigger compared to the older versions and require reinforcements to the floors and physical changes to security areas. However, supply chain issues and major construction work had delayed installations.
Passengers at affected airports are advised to pack liquids in check-in luggage wherever possible to avoid delays in going through security, ensuring carry-on luggage liquids, including aerosol and gels, do not exceed 100 ml. It has been advised that passengers should check airport websites for specific rules before traveling.
