Regulator set to decide on Dublin Airport rules for passengers carrying liquids

A ruling from safety regulators allowing most departing passengers at Dublin Airport to keep liquids up to 100ml in their bags is imminent, sources say. Passengers have had to keep removing liquids from their baggage at Dublin, even while passing through new scanners supposed to eliminate this need, following a temporary European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) ruling last year. A decision reversing that temporary ruling and allowing travellers to keep liquids up to 100ml in their bags, speeding up their passage through security, is imminent, according to insiders. In Dublin's case, this means that those passing through lanes equipped with new C3 scanners will not have to remove their liquids. READ MORE This covers all the security lanes in terminal two and 80 per cent of those in terminal one. Airport operator, State company DAA has been installing the new technology since last year. It is scheduled to finish this work in October. At that point, assuming the safety regulators' ruling comes first, all passengers departing the airport will be allowed keep liquids up to 100ml in their bags. The EASA issued its temporary ruling last year after US air travel safety regulators raised a concern about the particular type of scanner used by Dublin Airport, made by UK company Smith's Detection. That issue is now resolved, paving the way for a change to last year's temporary ruling. Earlier this month, Gary McLean, managing director of Dublin Airport, pledged that the company would aim to get nine out of 10 passengers through security in less than 20 minutes. About 10 million people are expected to travel through Dublin Airport this summer, bringing the total for 2025 to just over 36 million, according to DAA. The State airports company expects that Dublin will handle 2,600 flights a week during the peak season. The airport advises passengers to arrive two hours before a short-haul flight, and three before long-haul flights. It also suggests that anyone checking in bags should ask their airline if it is possible to do this the night before travel. Earlier this month, DAA announced a series of improvements to the airport for this summer, which include more than 1,000 extra seats, 15 new or improved places to eat and drink, cleaning projects and information on public transport. The airport will open a new fast-track security facility in terminal one on a dedicated mezzanine floor during the summer. Dublin Airport did not comment on the likely timing of a decision on the liquids rule, but said it was still waiting on confirmation that it would be reversed. 'This would be good news for passengers that liquids up to 100ml can remain in the bag,' said a spokesman, who added that the new scanners would be completely installed in the airport in October.

Chemical, Biological, Radiological & Nuclear (CBRN) Defence Industry Research 2025-2035: Expansion of Simulated Training Environments Presents Growth Opportunities

The global Chemical, Biological, Radiological & Nuclear (CBRN) Defence Market is set to exceed USD 20 billion by 2025, driven by rising geopolitical tensions and technological innovations in threat detection and defense systems. Get insights into major players, market trends, and regional forecasts up to 2035. Discover how AI and miniaturized detection devices are enhancing military and emergency response capabilities. This comprehensive report provides essential knowledge for companies seeking growth and new revenue streams in this dynamic market. Dublin, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Chemical, Biological, Radiological & Nuclear (CBRN) Defence Market Report 2025-2035" has been added to offering. By 2025, the Chemical, Biological, Radiological & Nuclear (CBRN) Defence Market's global revenue is poised to exceed US$20 billion. A leading market analysis predicts robust growth through 2035, illuminating key players' capabilities and commercial prospects. This comprehensive report is essential for companies seeking to uncover new revenue streams and expand into diverse markets. The escalating need for real-time threat detection is fueling innovation in CBRN technology. Advances in sensor miniaturization, AI-driven analytics, and autonomous systems are paving the way for compact, efficient detection devices. In June 2025, the Joint Programme Executive Office for CBRN Defence, in collaboration with Smiths Detection, introduced the Aerosol Vapor Chemical Agent Detector (AVCAD), designed for seamless integration with naval and military platforms. Similarly, in July 2023, Draper launched CBRN hazard capabilities for small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAVs). These innovations enable military forces to evaluate hazardous environments remotely, enhancing operational safety for defense personnel and industrial security teams. Nevertheless, the CBRN market faces challenges such as high costs and budget constraints, which impact adoption rates. For example, India's National Disaster Response Force inducted four Hazmat vehicles in August 2023, each costing approximately $8 million, underscoring the financial burdens involved. Developed markets, particularly in the U.S. and U.K., exhibit slowed growth due to saturation and a focus on system upgrades rather than new acquisitions. However, emerging economies present new opportunities where CBRN preparedness is still in its nascent stages. Competition is propelling innovation, pushing companies to develop cost-effective, AI-integrated autonomous solutions. The report addresses key questions such as the CBRN market's evolution, drivers and restraints, growth forecasts, and market shares by 2035. It provides extensive data, including 138 tables and 220 charts, drawing attention to lucrative industry areas for immediate targeting. Discussions extend to military forces and homeland security as key end-users, covering segments like decontamination and detection systems. For detection systems, chemical, biological, and radiological systems are analyzed. Protection equipment including gas masks and chemical suits reflect the diverse needs across sectors. Regional forecasts are provided for North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and MEA.
