The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) is trialling a new customized screening line, designed so that airports with limited space can employ advanced technology and equipment while speeding passenger checks. Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) is the first airport in Canada to trial the new line.

The new procedure offers the benefits of a CATSA Plus screening line by allowing up to three passengers to place their belongings in screening bins at the same time.

Additionally, travellers using the new line (screening line 6) at YQB can take the advantage of CT X-ray technology where permitted liquids, aerosols and gels (100 mL or less), medical devices and large electronics – including laptops – will no longer need to be removed from their carry-on bags.

The installation of the new customized screening line is part of CATSA’s national deployment plan, which will bring CT X-ray technology to screening lines at several airports over a multi-year period.
