Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) has introduced a new security screening line equipped with Computed Tomography (CT) X-ray technology, making it the first airport in Atlantic Canada to adopt this screening method.
Installed at the Domestic/International checkpoint, the new line is part of a broader rollout by the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA).
The CT technology enables passengers to leave permitted liquids (up to 100 ml), aerosols, gels, medical devices and large electronics such as laptops in their carry-on bags during screening.
Dean Bouchard, Vice President of Airport Planning & Development at Halifax International Airport Authority said:As we enter the peak summer season, we are pleased to work closely with our partners at CATSA to introduce an expanded security screening facility, including an additional line that will host one of CATSA’s new CT X-ray systems. The implementation of this new technology will help streamline the security process and enhance the passenger experience.
This development marks the beginning of a phased implementation of CT X-ray systems across all screening lines at YHZ. The project is part of CATSA’s national deployment strategy.
