Dublin Airport to Allow Passengers to Keep 100ml Liquids in Carry-On Bags Soon

A ruling from safety regulators is expected to allow most departing passengers at Dublin Airport to keep liquids up to 100ml in their bags. This change could speed up the security process for travelers passing through the airport.

Passengers have been required to remove liquids from their baggage at Dublin Airport, even with the new scanners in place. However, a decision is imminent to reverse this requirement and permit travelers to keep liquids up to 100ml in their bags, particularly for lanes equipped with new C3 scanners.

The installation of new technology by the airport operator, DAA, is expected to be completed by October. Once the safety regulators' ruling is in place, all passengers departing from Dublin Airport will likely be allowed to keep liquids up to 100ml in their bags.

Last year, a temporary ruling was issued by EASA due to concerns raised by US air travel safety regulators about the scanner used at Dublin Airport. With the resolution of this issue, a change to last year's ruling is anticipated.

Dublin Airport aims to improve passenger security processing time, with plans to handle a significant number of flights during the peak season. Travelers are advised to arrive early and check with their airline for bag check-in options.

Recent improvements at Dublin Airport include additional seating, new dining options, cleaning projects, and enhanced public transport information. The airport will introduce a new fast-track security facility in terminal one during the summer.

No official confirmation has been provided on the timing of the decision regarding the liquids rule, but Dublin Airport is hopeful for a positive outcome for passengers.
