GLA/ABZ/SOU have the same owner, no specifics from them but they intend to meet the June 2024 deadline.
Came through Aberdeen yesterday. Despite checking their website, after checking in my suitcase with 2 carefully wrapped bottles of scotch we get to the security desks area where there are posters up saying you can take up to 2 litres of liquids through. Process was the same as at City, ie leave everything in, but an instance of taking belts off seem to be being made more often now.

For those that want to know, the bottles survived manual baggage handling onto and off the plane and onto the bag carousel at LHR. I don't know whether it was the time of day, but the bags arrived within a few mins of us getting off the remote stand bus - almost as quick as getting bags at LCY! Maybe because the bags don't get scanned, or maybe because it was 9pm, but what ever reason they came out quick. And my bottles arrived home unscathed!
