Turkey to introduce carry-on liquid ban on airplanes on Sunday

According the new regulation that will come into effect on Sunday, the passengers will be allowed to travel with maximum amount of 100 ml liquids, gels and aerosols each in their handbags.

The liquids should be placed inside clear plastic, zip-top bags. The regulation is in line with the international rules.

In 2006 the U.S. and the U.K. implemented ban on all liquids, gels and aerosols after U.K. officials uncovered an attack plot involving transatlantic flights bound for the United States. The European Union countries followed the move.

But the countries later eased the ban and put limits on carry-on liquids after the regulation resulted in long queues in the airports' during security checks.
