Glasgow Airport has introduced changes to its security area from today.
The airport is preparing to install new security equipment and while this is being done, priority passengers will have to use the standard boarding card area.
Security staff will then direct them to priority lanes.

It comes amid plans to introduce new security in airports across the UK which will allow passengers to bring liquids of more than 100ml.
The current liquid rules were implemented in 2006 and the changes were set to be introduced in June 2024, but the UK government granted extensions to airports that were unable to meet the deadline due to a busy summer period.

The new scanners will produce more detailed images, meaning passengers can be allowed to pass through airport security with containers holding up to two litres of liquid in their hand luggage.
They will also end the need for laptops and tablets to be removed from hand luggage.
