Security check: 100-milliliter rule at Munich Airport abolished altogether

As of Friday, 18 September, travellers at Munich Airport will be allowed to carry liquids in containers of up to two litres in their hand luggage through all security checkpoints. This change is made possible by the installation of modern computer tomographs (CT) for baggage control, following an investment of around 45 million euros by the state of Bavaria.

Currently, only certain checkpoints at Terminals 1 and 2 have CT scanners, where the two-litre limit already applies. At checkpoints without CT technology, the 100-millilitre limit for liquids in hand luggage remains in place.
