JAKARTA: Soekarno-Hatta International Airport security has confiscated a total of 30 bags of liquids, aerosols and gels from passengers since the implementation of stricter cabin baggage limits Saturday.
Airport security coordinator Agus Kuswoyo said Tuesday that the confiscations had been necessary because passengers were carrying more than the permitted 100 milliliters per item of liquids, aerosols and gels.
As of March 31, the airport implemented enhanced rules on cabin baggage. Creams, lotions, oils, perfumes, sprays, gels and the contents of pressurized containers must be carried in containers of 100 milliliter capacity or less. Liquids carried in containers larger than the maximum limit are not accepted, even if the container is only partly filled.
The containers also must be packed in one transparent re-sealable plastic bag of no more than one liter capacity per passenger.
Agus said security had been amassing eight sacks of confiscated items a day on average since Saturday.
