The European Commission has decided to change the volume limits for liquids allowed in airline carry-on luggage, lifting the 100-milliliter restriction. In the near future, passengers may be allowed to bring up to two liters of liquids.

Currently, liquid containers in carry-on luggage are limited to a maximum of 100 milliliters. However, the European Commission decided last Thursday that in the future, passengers will be allowed to carry liquids in containers of up to two liters in their hand luggage, according to Helsingin Sanomat.

This means liquids will no longer need to be packed in containers of 100 milliliters or less.

The changes will apply in all airports within European Union member states that use 3D scanning equipment for baggage inspection.

The decision still requires approval from the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC).
