Stockholm – Starting in September, the EU Commission will introduce new regulations regarding liquid controls at EU airports. In Sweden, these regulations primarily affect Terminal 5 at Arlanda.

Last summer, a new security check with the latest technology was introduced at Arlanda’s Terminal 5 – where you could bring larger bottles than 100 ml.

But from September 1st, you will only be able to bring 100 ml per bottle – again.

“The restriction is introduced to improve the scanning equipment,” says Andreas Holmgren, head of unit at the Swedish Transport Agency.

“They want to refine it and during that time they are introducing a restriction on the size of liquid containers.”

The restriction is only temporary, but it is not known how long it will apply.

“They are working to find a solution that can revert to how it was before. But when and for how long we cannot really answer,” says Andreas Holmgren.

The new regulations also affect the much smaller airport in Sälen in Sweden.
