C-T scanners at Canadian airports

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 18 Sep, 2024 03:49 PM
  • C-T scanners at Canadian airports

C-T scanners are being put to use at Canada's airports for security screening, meaning travellers can soon leave their liquids, medical devices and large electronics in their carry-ons. 

The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority made the announcement in Vancouver today, where the first installation of the new technology is in place. 

President Nada Semaan says the C-T scanners will make security screening more effective and improve the passenger experience across the country. 

Additional C-T equipment instalments are planned at other airports starting this fall and will be phased in over several years.
