EU delays end of duty-free liquids hand luggage ban
Some airports not ready
The European Commission has indefinitely delayed a planned 29 April end to EU airport bans on carrying duty-free liquids, such as perfume, bought outside the EU onto connecting flights. International airports in all 27 member states were supposed by then to have sufficient screening to ensure such liquids were safe. But some airports were not ready, so Brussels postponed the liberalisation, even for EU airports able to screen. Transferring passengers can still carry duty-free liquids from Canada, the US, Croatia, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
