Security Update
Humberside Airport continues to operate as normal but with enhanced security.
The Airport has restrictions on parking outside the terminal building. Customers wishing to pick up or drop off passengers are being directed to the short stay car park where free parking is available for 15 minutes.
Passengers are reminded that all other security restrictions remain in force. This includes no liquids over 100ml to be carried in hand luggage.
Current Regulations
Hand baggage:
Passengers will continue to be allowed just one item of hand baggage. The size of the bag is 56cm x 45cm x 25cm. This is consistent with the International Air Transport Association's long-standing recommendation.

Exemption for musical instruments:
Large musical instruments will be allowed as a second item of hand luggage but they will have to be screened separately.
Liquids:
Passengers will be permitted to carry in their cabin baggage, small quantities of liquids in separate containers each with a capacity not greater than 100ml. This will have to be declared to security officers, removed from their baggage and x-rayed separately.
These items must be contained within a small, re-sealable plastic wallet, which will be have to be removed from their hand baggage and x-rayed separately.
The new rules stipulate that the plastic wallet must not exceed one litre capacity per passenger - that’s around half the size of a standard A4 piece of paper and it must be sealable. The wallet can contain two or more items of less than 100mls each but must not be cluttered to allow security officers to carry out thorough checks.
Large electrical items / Laptops:
Laptops and other complex items of electrical equipment have to be removed from hand luggage and screened separately.
WHAT DOES NOT CHANGE
Passengers will continue to be allowed to pack liquids in the bags that they check in.
They will also be allowed to carry in their hand luggage prescribed medicines and dietary requirements including baby foods, for use during the trip. Passengers may be asked for proof that these items are needed.
Passengers will be able to buy liquids including drinks and perfumes either in an EU airport shop after security control, or on board an aircraft operated by an EU airlines. If they are sold in a special sealed bag, passengers must not open them before they are screened otherwise the contents may be confiscated at the checkpoint.
