INTERNATIONAL air travellers to and from Australia will face new restrictions on liquids in hand luggage from March next year.
The move follows the arrest in the United Kingdom of terrorism suspects plotting to blow up airliners using liquid explosives smuggled aboard in hand luggage.
Transport Minister Mark Vaile said today the Government would introduce the new hand luggage restrictions in late March.
"As a result of vulnerabilities exposed in the UK in August with regard to liquids being carried in hand luggage onto international flights, the Government this week has taken a decision that as of March 31 next year, all international travellers, both outbound and inbound, ... will need to be restricted in the carriage of liquids, aerosols and gels to 100 millilitre containers," he said on ABC radio.
