Passengers at London Luton Airport (LLA) can now keep liquids and electronic items in their bag at security checks, following the successful introduction of next generation security scanners.

LLA is one of the first major airports to complete the roll-out of the £20 million project in time for the busy summer holidays.

All security lanes are now equipped with the body scanners and CT scanner tech, allowing passengers to travel quickly through security, even though UK Government restrictions still mean that bottles and containers are limited to 100ml or less.

Recently crowned European Airport of the year (10-25 million passengers) at the prestigious ACI EUROPE Best Airport Awards, LLA is set to welcome over 2.5 million passengers over the school holidays*.

Neil Thompson, Chief Operations Officer at London Luton Airport, commented: "We are delighted to become one of the first major airports to offer the benefits of next generation security to all passengers. This investment provides London Luton Airport with enhanced screening technology that will significantly elevate the service provided to passengers flying from LLA this summer and beyond, aligning perfectly with the simple, friendly passenger experience we always look to deliver.”

Early risers can also now take advantage of LLA’s newly launched Prebook Security initiative, another option designed to make the LLA security experience as quick and easy as possible. The free service allows passengers to skip security queues by reserving a 10-minute slot up to four days before travelling.

* Pre-Book is currently running on a trial basis and is available for passengers arriving at security between 03.00 and 04.30. Passengers can pre-book the service from 4 days (up to 60 minutes) before arrival at LLA Security (subject to availability).
