The British Airports Authority, which operates Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports serving London, implemented the government's revised rules which permit passengers to take a single, briefcase-sized bag aboard.

Passengers are allowed to carry on board one item of hand luggage about the size of a computer laptop bag. Mobile phones, laptops and electric key chains are permitted, but cosmetics, gels, toothpaste, liquids and sharp objects were forbidden inside airplane cabins.
