The UK has a robust aviation security system, and new technology to enhance security screening of passengers and hand luggage is being rolled out at UK airports. Newcastle International Airport has installed new screening technology that allows passengers to leave electrical items such as tablets and laptops, and liquids in their hand baggage during the screening process.

There are no changes to the rules on the carriage of dangerous goods, detail of which can be found at https://www.caa.co.uk/passengers/before-you-fly/baggage/banned-items/ 

Passengers must ensure any Liquids, Aerosols and Gels within hand luggage, are in individual containers up to 100ml. Liquids, Aerosols and Gels greater than 100ml are not permitted. All Liquids, Aerosols and Gels will be subject to an automated screening process which will ultimately determine if they can be taken on your journey.

Any liquids within double-skinned containers, such as thermos flasks or thermal water bottles, are not able to be scanned and therefore will not be permitted through security. Empty double-skinned containers are permitted.

The catering outlets in our catering outlet are more than happy to provide passengers with hot or cold water as required.

We would recommend for a more seamless journey, that passengers continue to pack as many liquids as possible in their hold baggage, and only carry in their hand baggage what is required for the flight.

No, this is not required.
