Since Sunday, following government stipulation, passengers at all UK airports have been allowed to carry no more than 100ml in liquids, pastes and gels in their hand luggage.Birmingham had spent £60m to upgrade its security desks and introduce hi-tech scanners known as Next Generation Security Checkpoints (NGSC), which would have allowed passengers there in the future to carry up to two litres.

Nick Barton said the situation passengers found themselves in was "not what we planned to give them".The new scanning tech had meant that some UK airports with the provision had already relaxed liquid limits.While Birmingham Airport had upgraded to the equipment,

, putting it down to “an outstanding regulatory approval" on the new screening machines.But on Friday, the government announced a return to rules predating the tech.

It said the 100ml restriction was being reintroduced at the six regional sites that had relaxed the rule to "enable further improvements to be made to the new checkpoint systems".

The move was not in response to a specific threat, it added.Although the vast majority of new SUVs still burn fossil fuels, IEA officials have said that over 20% of SUVs sold in 2023 were fully electric, up from 2% in 2018.

As for hybrids that can run on both electricity and fossil fuels, a study in Europe by the International Council on Clean Transportation in 2022 found only around 30% of the total distance driven by plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (all types including SUVs) was in electric mode on average.Similar results were found in other major economies such as the US and China.

Overall, the back-gear towards SUVs, some experts say, has caused a significant setback in the decarbonisation of the transport sector."The trend toward heavier and less efficient vehicles such as SUVs (in countries where it is happening) has largely nullified the improvements in energy consumption and emissions achieved elsewhere in the world's passenger car fleet," said the IEA.
