Summary
Edinburgh Airport has removed the 100ml liquid limit for hand luggage and now allows up to two litres per container. This change is supported by the installation of new scanners and extra lanes at the airport, making it the first in Scotland to adopt this new rule. Passengers do not need to take large electronics out of their bags during security checks, but metal bottles must be empty.
