FILE - A plane takes off over a road sign near Heathrow Airport in London, June 5, 2018. The British government says it will grant extensions to several large U.K. airports unable to meet the June 1, 2024 deadline to fully install new scanning technology that would have allowed passengers to take two liters of liquid in their hand luggage — rather than the current paltry 100 milliliters .
The new deadline comes after airports reported that they were struggling to install the scanners ahead of the busy summer holiday period, largely due to supply chain delays and construction difficulties caused by the weight of the machines. “These cutting-edge scanners will make air travel safer and easier for passengers by strengthening security even further,” said Transport Secretary Mark Harper.
