It's all systems go at Durban International Airport with the majority of passengers complying with international restrictions on liquids, aerosols and gels.
This comes after more than 6.8 tons of liquids, aerosols and gels were seized at Durban, OR Tambo and Cape Town airports.
The new regulations came into force on June 1 and were introduced on international flights to protect planes against the threat of liquid explosives.
Last year, Britain banned all liquids on flights after concerns over a liquid explosives scare at Heathrow Airport.
The new rules state that any liquids, aerosols or gels in a passenger's hand luggage must be in containers of 100ml each or smaller.
Non-prescription medication like eye-care products, liquids and gels will be allowed.
Other items which can be carried on board include formula, milk and food for babies in small containers, prescription medicine in liquid and gel form, lipsticks in tubes, solid deodorant, lip balm and similar solids.
Airports Company South Africa (Acsa) spokesperson Colin Naidoo said the majority of passengers passing through Durban International were compliant with the new regulations.
He said that this was positive as it cut down on the checking-in process and ensured that passengers had a smooth and enjoyable flight.
Naidoo said every check-in counter had large signs which explained the new regulations.
He said they had not confiscated a large amount of liquids, aerosols and gels as they did not have international flights leaving from the airport.
"While the new regulations are important for safety, they have not impacted much as we have mainly domestic flights.
"People have responded well to the new regulations," he said.
The confiscated items are kept in large bins and are removed by a cleaning company. Airport staff also hand out transparent, re-sealable 20cm bags to passengers to keep their essentials in.
"We will continue to hand the bags out until the end of June. Thereafter the bags will be sold at retailers at the airport," he said.
Passengers who are flying from Durban to catch international flights from Johannesburg and Cape Town are advised to place their items in the bags at Durban to avoid long delays.
