Luton airport is set to meet the deadline for the introduction of new scanners

The UK government has set a deadline of June 2024 for all of the country’s airports to introduce the necessary scanners to enable the end of the long-running 100ml limit on liquids being allowed through security.

But several of the UK’s major airports, including Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester have already admitted they will not be able to fully install all the necessary scanners by this summer’s deadline.
