Passengers using Dublin Airport from this morning won’t have to take liquids, gels, or electronics out of their hand luggage at security in either terminal.
Departing passengers will also be allowed carry up to 2 litres in liquid in their hand luggage.
The change according to Dublin Airport is thanks to a multi-million-euro upgrade by daa in the scanning technology that’s used to screen departing passengers and their hand luggage before they fly.
Dublin Airport is one of the first airports in Europe to fully switch over to C3, which provide the best threat detection technology available within the aviation industry.
However passengers are being advised that while Dublin Airport is now fully C3 operational, other airports in the UK and Europe are not as advanced and passengers booked to return to Dublin are advised to check the liquid rules at the airport from which they are flying back from.
Some rules will remain such as belts, footwear which extends over the ankle, jackets, hoodies and oversized jumpers and cardigans must be removed and placed in the security tray and passengers must continue to remove all items from their pockets, including keys, wallets and phones.
