Liquid regulations land in SA

ACSA has received a directive from SA Civil Aviation to implement restrictions on liquids, aerosols and gels for international flights, in line with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (Icao) recommendations. What this means is that from June 1, passengers on international flights may take in their hand luggage through the security check, no liquids other than a maximum of 10 100ml bottles of liquids, aerosols and gels (LAGs), contained in a transparent plastic bag with a one-litre maximum capacity. LAGs include drinks, soup, syrups, creams, lotions, oils, perfumes, mascara, sprays, gels, contents of pressurised containers (deodorants and shaving foams), pastes (including toothpaste), liquid/solid mixtures and other items of similar consistency.
