"Thanks to new 'C3' technology, travellers passing through London Southend Airport can now leave liquids up to two litres in quantity, plus electrical items including laptops, iPads and tablets, in their cabin baggage. London Southend will also screen all passengers using security body scanners as part of the upgrades."
"Heathrow is among the most recent travel hubs to introduce next-generation CT security scanners, ensuring travellers a smoother experience as of the end of January 2026. Now, one of the UK's fastest-growing regional airports is joining the (currently) select groups of airports that allow travellers to shimmy through security with up to two litres of liquids."
"While the upgrades are a win for Brits travelling out of the UK, it's important to note that other airports around the world will still have limits on the levels of liquids that are brought in by passengers arriving and departing - so always check the rules in the destination before lugging liquids that may go to waste on your travels."
London Southend Airport has introduced next-generation C3 security scanner technology that eliminates the two-decade-old 100ml liquids restriction for cabin baggage. Passengers can now carry up to two litres of liquids, laptops, iPads, and tablets through security without removing them. The airport has also implemented security body scanners for all passengers. This technology upgrade follows similar installations at major UK airports including Heathrow. The Department for Transport confirms these improvements enhance screening efficiency. However, travellers should verify liquid restrictions at their destination airports, as international airports maintain varying regulations.
