New safety rules inside the EU airports
In order to protect passengers from the liquid explosive’s terrorist threat, EU adopted new safety rules which impose limitations on the transport of liquids in carry-on bags. All passengers departing from EU airports to any destination (national flights included) are subject to these new rules. At the security check points any passenger and his/her carry-on bag will undergo security screening in order to detect prohibited items and liquid substances. All liquids in carry-on bags must be placed in containers of 100 ml or less (1/10 of litre or equivalent 100 gr). These containers must be placed inside a transparent re-sealable plastic bag of no more than 1 litre; 1 plastic bag per passenger is permitted. Since the 31st January 2014, Abruzzo Airport is equipped with the security screening for liquids and gels, referring to the European Regulation n. 246/2013.

• take the plastic bag containing liquids from your carry-on bag and present it to the security personnel for the screening;
