EU to lift ban on liquids in hand luggage

After 2013 passengers will no longer have to hand over expensive bottles of perfume or aftershave at airport security as the ban on liquids is due to be lifted. The European Union will end current restrictions on liquids in passengers' hand luggage by April 2013. New screening equipment capable of detecting liquids will have to be installed by the deadline, the EU executive announced.

The ban on liquids in containers larger than 100ml came into force in Europe 2006 after British police uncovered an al-Qaeda plot to blow up transatlantic airliners bound for North America using bombs made from liquid explosives. Three Britons were jailed for life in September 2009 for their plan to destroy at least seven aircraft using explosives hidden in soft-drink bottles.

"By 29 April 2013 at the latest, all liquids will be allowed in cabin baggage and will be screened," the European Commission said in a statement. As a preliminary step from April 2011, bottles of duty-free drinks and perfumes bought at third country airports or onboard third country airlines will be allowed if they are carried in tamper-proof bags and screened.

Another two years seems like quite a wait, but apparently that is due to the high cost of technology. "The ban was always meant to be temporary but scanning technology is expensive and has been slow to develop," a Commission spokeswoman said.

Cancellation of the 2nd International Aero Expo Icarus

Due to the financial circumstances and the problems facing our country, the AOPA Hellas board appreciates that an aviation event of international magnitude during the year 2010 will not have the expected success. Due to these reasons we decided the non realization of the 2nd International Aero Expo Icarus for this year and we are instead planning the Expo for June 2011.

2nd International Aeroexpo Athens 2010

ICARUS 2010
2nd INTERNATIONAL AERO EXPO ATHENS
18 - 20 June 2010, Dekeleia Airport, Tatoi

AOPA HELLAS and the organizational committee of ICARUS 2010 would like to invite you to participate to the 2nd International Aero Expo of Athens ICARUS 2010 to be hosted at Tatoi Airfield (LGTT), Athens. ICARUS Aero Expo Athens 2010 is the only International Business and General Aviation Exhibition in Southern Europe.
Southern Europe is proving to be a rapidly developing aviation market thanks to the good weather conditions and to the recent enlargement of the European Union. The aviation world currently has the potential to advertise and dynamically penetrate to the surrounding market, based on Athens, the crossroads between East, West, and a bridge to Middle East.
In June 2008, AOPA Hellas organized ICARUS AEROEXPO 2008, the 1st International General Aviation and Business Aviation Exhibition in Greece, under the auspices of ΙΑΟΡΑ, the Greek Air force and the Ministries of Transportation and Tourism, and sponsored by the Ministries of Transportation and Tourism, ΑΝΤΕΝΝΑ Channel, AIRBP, the aviation press and many others. With more than 40.000 visitors, 60 exhibitors, representing 108 companies, 20 international seminar speakers, 105 airplanes from 12 countries of Europe and the Middle East, airshow with the participation of both civilian and military airplanes, ICARUS 2008 was a great success. It appealed not only to the aviation world but to the general public as well and rightfully gained the 3rd position among European Aero Expos

Visit the land of Icarus, where aviation was born

Aero Expo ICARUS 2010 of AOPA HELLAS will be once more hosted at the Dekeleia airport, which will be ready to receive with a free entrance, its visitors and the aviation world. During the Expo an international Fly-in will be taking place with various events scheduled for the participants, airshow, seminars, happenings and Fly Trials by the aviation schools. There will be free access to the Hellenic Air Force Museum and to a unique private war bird collection within Tatoi airfield.
The Tatoi airfield (LGTT) is home for the majority of airclubs and pilot schools of Athens. It is located just 15 min. to the north of the city and 3 min from the national roads and Attiki Odos. The suburban railway, the subway and the train can transport thousands of visitors from the greater area. The airport offers vast, covered exhibition areas, 35,000m2 of apron, ample hard surface for static displays and can accommodate a vast number of private aircraft. The 5,800 ft asphalt runway is sufficient for up to business jet level aircraft. Car parking facilities inside the airfield are vast and there are hotels in the surrounding area.

The events of the 2nd International Aero Expo Athens are being organized under the auspices of ΙAOPA Europe, which invites the international community to participate in ICARUS 2010. Given the international recognition of IAOPA in the World's General Aviation community, the organizational support of the Hellenic Air Force and the support of the Greek Government, Aero Expo ICARUS 2010, is bound to be another resounding success with even more resounding benefits for the exhibitors as well as the region's aviation key players.

The new web site www.icarusaeroexpo.gr will be available after 3 March.
