Is the 100 ml liquids rule still in force at Copenhagen Airport in 2026?

New scanners, old liquids rule.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes, as of November 2026 the classic liquids rule still applies at Copenhagen Airport. Each container may hold no more than 100 ml, and all containers must fit in one clear, resealable 1 litre bag per person. The new security checkpoint with 20 CT scanners opened on 19 May 2026, and the machines can handle larger amounts, but the airport is waiting for EU approval before it can relax the rule. At security you put the liquids bag visibly in a tray next to your hand luggage.

Copenhagen Airport

Why

  1. Each container: 100 ml at most.
  2. One clear 1 litre bag per person.
  3. The new CT scanners have not changed the liquids rule yet.

Details

Free plastic bags are available at the packing tables at the entrance to security.

Tip

Pack the liquids bag on top of your hand luggage so you can take it out quickly at the tray.

What may differ

In May 2026 the airport expected EU approval before the end of the year, so the rule may change soon: check before you pack.

Common misconception

With the new CT scanners you can bring bottles of any size through security at CPH.

What actually happens

The scanners are in use, but the 100 ml limit and the 1 litre bag still apply until the EU approves a change.
