Recent changes by the European Commission have the potential to lift the 100ml limit on liquids for air travel passengers in Germany. New airport security equipment will enable better differentiation between harmless liquids and explosives. While some German airports have begun implementing these changes, the exact timeline for lifting the 100ml limit remains uncertain. Previously, passengers were restricted to carrying only 100ml of liquids, except for baby food and medications. An appeal by the European Commission previously required this limit to stay in place due to equipment reliability concerns.
New airport security screening equipment allows security officials to better differentiate between explosive materials and harmless liquids, lifting the 100ml liquid limit for passengers.
Passengers in Germany can look forward to not having water bottles, full-sized shampoo bottles, and other liquids confiscated by airport security in future.
The European Commission recently changed the EU rules for what passengers are allowed to bring in their carry-on luggage on flights, affecting the 100ml limit.
Several German airports already had new security scanners in place last year, beginning to phase them in and scrapping the 100ml limit when possible.
