Due to an EU regulatory change regarding certain security screening equipment, the following rules in relation to liquids, aerosols and gels (LAGS) will come into effect at Kerry Airport from September 1st 2024.
- Only LAGS in containers of 100ml or less can be brought through security. These can stay inside your cabin bag and there are no restrictions on the number of containers or type of LAG – provided they are not dangerous goods. They do not have to be in a plastic bag.
- The airport will accept LAGS in containers over 100ml but these must fall into the category of baby foods/milk, medicines or special dietary requirements. These must be presented at the screening point outside of your cabin bag but do not have to be in a plastic bag. They will be subject to additional screening after they have passed through the x-ray equipment.
- All other LAGS in containers over 100ml, aside from point two above, will be rejected and passengers will be asked to surrender them at the screening point for disposal.
Those with LAGS that fall into the category of point 3 above must ensure they are packed into their hold baggage or else do not bring them.
It’s important to note that the screening equipment itself, which is of a high quality, is not in question and also that the European Commission are not acting on any new threat information.
They are responding as a precautionary measure to a temporary technical issue that has been identified.
Kerry Airport expects to resume allowing all LAGS to remain inside cabin baggage at some stage in 2025.
