Birmingham Airport has issued updated advice to passengers ahead of the busy summer season. A spokesperson from the airport told the Express & Star that the site is “looking forward to a busy Summer 2026”. The airport has issued advice ahead of the busy period to ease queues and disruption through the summer months.
New Security Rules for Liquids
The airport reminds passengers that they are able to take liquids up to two litres in their hand luggage - and they don’t have to remove these through security. Anything above the two litre limit will be removed and destroyed. There is no limit on the number of two litre containers that can be carried. Birmingham Airport was one of the first UK airports to meet the Government directive for new security equipment allowing the 100ml liquid limit at the airport to be scrapped.
Electrical Items and Baggage
Passengers can also carry electrical items in their hand luggage. The spokesperson added: “When packing luggage for the hold ensure that no battery packs or vapes are within these bags, these need to be in hand luggage. Arrive at the airport in line with your airline’s check in opening time, whether checked in online or checking in at the airport.”
Night Before Bag Drop
“For passengers on early morning flights with TUI, easyJet, Jet2.com or Ryanair bags can be dropped the night before, then the next morning just head straight to security, details on our website. For any customers with questions or queries before their trip please visit our website or our helpful customer service team will be on-site to help them on the day of travel.”
