Passengers on flights leaving the country will be grounded unless they comply with strict new guidelines for taking liquids on board.
From the end of March, overseas airline travellers will not be allowed any liquids, aerosols or gels in their carry-on luggage unless:
* They are in containers of 100ml or less.
* The containers are in a one-litre, re-sealable, transparent plastic bag.
Exemptions apply for personal medications, baby products and dietary supplements, though these may also be checked.
The changes shadow similar moves in Britain and the United States and follow International Civil Aviation Organisation recommendations.
