The National Company Bucharest Airports (CNAB) has announced that, starting March 11, passengers departing from “Henri Coandă” and “Băneasa” airports can carry liquids, aerosols, and gels in containers of up to 2 liters in their hand luggage. This measure represents a major update to security regulations, eliminating the old restriction of a maximum of 100 ml per container.
The implementation of the new rule was made possible following investments made by CNAB in modern screening technologies, which allow for advanced scanning of cabin luggage contents. According to the statement by CNAB General Manager, Bogdan Mîndrescu, the investment reinforces the company’s objective to improve the passenger experience without compromising security standards. The new regulation applies exclusively to passengers starting their journey from the two Bucharest airports, while for individuals in transit or transfer, the restrictions of the airports of origin remain valid. The modernization of security systems is part of CNAB’s extensive strategy to streamline the infrastructure of Romania’s two main air gateways.
