Abta has called on travellers to adhere to current airport security protocols, amid delays in implementing advanced scanners. Adherence ensures smooth security checks.
The call comes as many UK airports have postponed the transition to new scanners, leading to potential confusion among travellers. Abta aims to provide clarity on existing rules for liquids and electronic devices.
Travellers are being urged by Abta to follow existing airport security protocols due to delays in the deployment of new scanner technology. Originally set for implementation by June 1, many UK airports are not fully prepared for the transition, necessitating adherence to the 100ml liquid rule and separate screening for electronics.
Even as some airports deploy the new technology, others lag behind, maintaining the traditional security measures. This inconsistency requires travellers to remain vigilant and informed, ensuring compliance regardless of airport capabilities.
Travellers are advised by Petherbridge to check with their respective airports before travelling and also consider the policies of their destination airports. Such preparation is crucial to align with varied international security standards.
As the technology rolls out, Abta reassures travellers of improved experiences at security checkpoints. However, until widespread adoption occurs, existing requirements remain crucial for a hassle-free journey.
Abta further suggests that travellers consult airport websites and customer service channels for the latest information. This proactive approach is integral to maintaining smooth operations during peak travel periods.
To facilitate transition, support from governmental bodies is essential. Abta emphasises collaboration between governmental agencies and airport authorities to expedite the implementation process, beneficial for both security and passenger experience.
The association’s advocacy for clear guidance emphasises its dedication to supporting travellers amid changing protocols at airports.
Abta reaffirms its guidance for travellers to adhere to current security protocols to avoid inconveniences. Such adherence ensures smoother travel experiences.
With ongoing efforts to update airport systems, Abta remains a trusted source for travel advice, helping to navigate the complexities of international travel. The association’s guidance is instrumental in fostering traveller confidence in security processes.
