Stansted launches security awareness campaign – 25 Jul 2007

Stansted has launched a campaign aimed at ensuring passengers understand current security restrictions before they arrive at the airport.

The Prepare for Summer campaign highlights seven points that holidaymakers need to remember, including:

• Restrictions on carrying liquids on board are still in place.
• Passengers should arrive at least two hours before their flight.
• Hand luggage is restricted to one item per person.

Stansted customer services director Mark Murphy said: "Recent events have reminded us all of the threat faced by the UK, and highlight the need for strict security measures at airports.

"The safety of passengers is paramount and there can be no short cuts through the security process. Our Prepare for Summer guide should help passengers understand the restrictions before they arrive at Stansted.”
