Southend Airport to reintroduce 100ml liquid restrictions
Six regional airports are to reintroduce the 100ml restriction on liquids at midnight on Sunday.
Six UK regional airports - including Southend - will temporarily reintroduce restrictions on carrying liquids over 100ml.
The Department for Transport said the move is to allow for further improvements to be made to the new systems.
The change comes into effect at midnight on Sunday and will affect passengers travelling from Aberdeen, Leeds/Bradford, London City, Newcastle, Southend and Teesside airports.
The Next Generation Security Checkpoints (NGSC) are in operation at all of these airports, allowing them to scrap the 100ml rule.
The scanners have the ability to create a 3D image of what is inside a passenger's bags.
Check security requirements before travelling
A Department for Transport spokesperson said: "This temporary move is to enable further improvements to be made to the new checkpoint systems and will only affect a small number of passengers.
"For most passengers, security measures will remain unchanged.
"Passengers should continue to check security requirements with their departure airport before travelling."
