Air travel liquid ban to remain in place until 2013...
This is the breaking news today with regards to air travel. Air passengers must carry liquids and gels in containers no larger than 100ml under current restrictions, which were imposed in 2006 after the break-up of a plot to blow up transatlantic airliners travelling from Heathrow to North America...
The plans, which have not yet been rubber-stamped, will mean millions of air passengers face three to four more years of having liquids confiscated at airport security gates...
The draft regulation states that transfer passengers from non-EU countries will be allowed to carry liquids on to connecting flights from 2011, ending a restriction that has seen the impounding of duty-free goods. However, duty-free purchases must be packed in a sealed bag with a receipt showing where and when the goods were bought...
The commission says all airports should be able to screen suspect liquids in just over three years. It has altered plans to relax the rules in 2012 for airports handling more than 10 million passengers a year...
Smaller airports would have waited until 2014 but the proposal was deemed impractical and potentially confusing for passengers...
