Security screening

Restrictions on liquids in carry-on baggage lifted at Sibiu International Airport as of September 5, 2025

Starting September 5, 2025, restrictions on liquids in cabin baggage have been lifted at Sibiu International Airport. Thus, individual containers for liquids, aerosols, and gels carried in cabin baggage and subject to security checks will no longer be limited to a maximum volume of 100 ml per container.

Passengers traveling from Sibiu International Airport can carry liquids (cosmetics, beverages, food, etc.) in their cabin baggage in individual containers with a maximum capacity of 2 liters.

This measure is possible due to the fact that Sibiu International Airport currently has 5 fully functional C3 standard EDSCB (Explosive Detection Systems for Cabin Baggage) devices installed on all passenger flows. Therefore, all passengers transiting the airport benefit from the same modern security conditions and flexible rules for transporting liquids.

Electronic devices may remain in the cabin baggage and they do not need to be removed from cabin baggage at security screening.

Liquids (LAGs – liquids, aerosols, and gels) include: cosmetics, pastes, lotions, creams, perfumes, beverages,  liquid/solid mixtures, contents of pressure vessels, gels and other items of similar consistency.

Tips before security screening

• The access to the security screening filters is allowed only if you own a valid boarding card.
• It is recommended that people wearing a pacemaker should inform security personnel before going through the metal detector gate.
• At the security screening filters passengers are obliged to follow the instructions of security personnel.
• In order to reduce congestion of the security screening filters, passengers must ensure that they do not carry into their baggage (both in the cabin and in the hold) items prohibited for aircraft transport.
• Take off your coats, overcoat and jackets, which will be controlled separately.

Sibiu International Airport wishes you a safe and pleasant travel and thanks all our passengers for their co-operation with the security procedures.
