2 Can hand sanitiser be brought on an airplane?
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), and member countries have strict regulations on carrying alcoholic solutions on board as carry-on baggage.
However, in response to the complex development of the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased demand for convenient sanitising solutions, on March 7, 2020, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) issued special guidelines for transporting alcohol-based hand sanitiser gels on board as carry-on baggage.
You can carry hand sanitising liquids containing alcohol in carry-on baggage not exceeding 100ml to ensure flight safety as the main ingredient of these liquids is alcohol, which is flammable.
