Passengers departing from Bucharest airports can carry up to 2 litres LAGs in cabin baggage

Passengers departing from the Henri Coanda and Baneasa airports may, starting Wednesday, carry liquids in hand luggage in containers of up to two litres, compared with the previous limit of 100 ml, the Bucharest Airports National Company (CNAB) announced.

'Starting Wednesday, 11 March, at 00:00, the new rules regarding the transport of liquids, aerosols and gels (LAGs) in cabin baggage entered into force. Thus, passengers departing from Henri Coanda Airport and Baneasa Airport may carry in their hand luggage liquids, aerosols and gels in individual containers of up to two litres, compared with the previous limit of 100 ml per container,' CNAB informs in a press release sent to AGERPRES.

CNAB Director General Bogdan Mindrescu said the implementation of this measure is possible following investments made by the company in state-of-the-art technologies dedicated to the security screening of cabin baggage, thus aligning the airports managed by CNAB with the best international practices in the area. 'Through this investment, the company strengthens its objective of constantly improving the passenger experience while ensuring the maintenance of the highest security standards,' Bogdan Mindrescu said.

The relaxation of restrictions on the acceptance of liquids, aerosols and gels for air transport applies exclusively to passengers whose flight originates from the above-mentioned airports and does not apply to passengers in transit or transfer, CNAB points out.
