The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) has introduced CT X-ray technology at Edmonton International Airport’s (YEG) Domestic/International checkpoint. Line 2 was the first to be upgraded, marking the beginning of a broader rollout across all screening lines at YEG. This installation is part of CATSA’s national strategy to upgrade screening systems across Canadian airports over a multi-year period.
Passengers travelling through screening lines equipped with CT X-ray are no longer required to remove bags with permitted liquids, aerosols and gels (100ml or less), medical devices, or large electronics, including laptops, from their carry-on bags.
To help travellers stay informed, CATSA offers an interactive CT X-ray map on its website. The map shows which airports and checkpoints across Canada are equipped with this state-of-the-art technology, making it easier for passengers to know what to expect.
“The introduction of CATSA’s CT X-ray technology at YEG underscores the strength of our partnership and our shared commitment to leading-edge technology,” said Carmen Donnelly, Vice President, Passenger Experience & Terminal Operations, Edmonton International Airport. “By working together, we are advancing security, improving efficiency, and delivering a more seamless experience for travellers who move through our airport.”
