Hong Kong International Airport announced that it will soon allow passengers to keep liquids and electronic devices in their carry-on luggage during security checks.
This new policy, effective next week, follows a major upgrade to the airport's security system, costing HK$800 million (US$102 million) and involving the implementation of advanced smart screening technology.
This comprehensive upgrade includes the installation of 50 new smart screening channels and 32 full-body scanners, making HKIA the world's first airport to fully adopt such an advanced security system.
