Changes have been put in place to the security area at Glasgow Airport as the 100ml liquid rule is scrapped

Glasgow Airport is currently in the process of installing new security equipment, and has issued a notice to upcoming passengers at the airport amidst upcoming rule changes for international travel.

The central search area will operate differently from normal, priority passengers are being asked to the standard boarding card area - after which they will be directed to priority lanes by security staff.

The notice, posted on social media by Glasgow Airport on October 1, reads: "From October 2, we're making changes to our central search area in preparation for the deployment of new security equipment.

"During this time, priority passengers will be redirected to the standard boarding card area, where security staff will direct them to the priority lanes."

The works are in place as airports across the UK install new equipment as rules change to allow passengers to pack liquids with more than 100ml of capacity.

The liquid rules were implemented in 18 years ago in 2006. The new rules were expected to be in place by June of this year, but extensions have been granted to airports that were unable to meet the deadline - including Glasgow Airport.

New scanners mean that more than 100ml of liquid is now allowed - as the scanners produce higher detailed images - allowing for up to two litres of liquids in passengers hand luggage now.

The new scanners will also allow for laptops and tablets to remain in hand luggage during security checks also.
