New CATSA tech at Halifax Stanfield enhances screening time

Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) becomes the first airport in Atlantic Canada to introduce the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority’s (CATSA’s) CT X-ray technology.

CATSA added a new screening line equipped with this technology at the Domestic/International checkpoint. This is the first step in bringing this technology to all screening lines at YHZ. Passengers travelling through Halifax will now enjoy an elevated security screening experience where they will no longer need to remove bags with permitted liquids, aerosols and gels (100 ml or less), medical devices, or large electronics—including laptops—from their carry-on bags.

The installation of this new technology at Halifax Stanfield is part of CATSA’s national deployment program, which aims to introduce CT X-ray systems to screening lines at several airports over a multi-year period.

CATSA looks forward to continuing its collaboration with Halifax Stanfield throughout the deployment of CT technology on all screening lines and is committed to enhancing the passenger experience while maintaining the highest standards of security for travellers at Canada’s designated airports.
