Traveling by plane is magnificent: being able to be almost on the other side of the world in a few hours is wonderful! There are thousands of people who travel by plane every day. Thanks to him, they can go to work meetings, conferences, holidays or to visit a relative urgentlyfor example (as long as there is a scheduled direct flight to our destination). We know, however, that not everything is flowers and violets and thattraveling costs or limits. In this case, we will talk about the limitations of hand luggage and the novelties that 2024 brings us in the sector.

To this day, the regulations indicate that hand or cabin baggage for traveling by plane cannot exceed 100 ml of liquid. And also, they must be in transparent bags. If we invoice the bags, we can put a higher amount of liquid, no problem.

But these limitations could be affected, thanks to the new technologies. Which are very important to make our lives easier. So, they are testing several airports of United States, us high-tech 3D scanners.

Will the regulations change and will we be able to carry more than 100 ml in hand luggage? @ wavebreakmedia_micro

specificallyAtlanta Airports and Chicago they were the two airports where the pilot test took place. And after the success they are having, it is expected that from next year, they will be implemented around the world. AENA has confirmed that, at the end of this 2023 or at the beginning of 2024, this new technology will begin to be implemented in several airports.

Madrid-Barajas and ‘El Prat’ in Barcelona will be the first Spanish airports to implement the 3D scanner

The advantages of 3D scanners

Thanks to these devices, we could manage to carry a larger amount of liquid in hand or cabin bags, without having to invoice or, that’s what we expect. too will automatically detect explosivesthanks to acquaintances EDSCB scanners. In addition, the implementation of these devices will facilitate the work of access controllers due to their high visibility. And if that’s not enough, will significantly reduce boarding time, speeding up the queues.
