The first of a series of new security scanners which will mean passengers no longer need to remove liquids, gels and electronic devices from their hand luggage has been installed at Edinburgh Airport.
Airport chiefs confirmed the first new scanner went into operation at the terminal on Tuesday morning.
The airport has ordered eight of the high-tech 3D X-ray scanners, which will also mean passengers are allowed to carry up to two litres of liquid onto a plane. The new scanners also end the need for laptops and tablets to be removed from hand luggage.
However, airport bosses have stressed there will be no changes to the liquid rules at Edinburgh for now.
The Scotsman has previously reported Edinburgh Airport – Scotland’s busiest – is among a host of large UK airports that have been granted a year’s extension from the original June 1 deadline to fully install the new scanning technology.
However, the airport has said it is confident the “vast majority” of its passengers will be using the new machines by the summer peak.
