New scanners streamline security at Aberdeen Airport

Passengers travelling through Aberdeen International Airport are now able to bring more than 100ml of liquids through security.

They'll also no longer need to remove electronics or liquids from their bags.

It's because the North East’s largest transport hub is now equipped with the latest Next Generation Security Checkpoint (NGSC) Scanners.

The airport has moved to the new compliant process ahead of a UK Government deadline for installing the scanners.

Last year more than 2.3 million passengers passed through the terminal.

William Wallace, Security Manager at Aberdeen International Airport said: “We are delighted to have the NGSC scanners operational at Aberdeen.

“We are well ahead of the deadline set by the Government thanks to all the hard work from our staff and contractors.

“This is one of the biggest changes in airport security so we would ask passengers to be prepared for this new process and to have patience as we enter the biggest change in aviation security in nearly two decades.”

Passengers are reminded that different rules may apply at other UK airports.
