Canada Amends Aviation Security Regulations For Airports

Government Says Changes Ensure The Highest International Aviation Security Standards For Canadian Travelers

Canadian Minister of Transport The Honourable Lisa Raitt, Minister of Transport has announced amendments to the Canadian Aviation Security Regulations, 2012 intended to strengthen airport security and non-passenger screening programs at Canadian airports.

The airport security program amendments introduce new requirements for airport operators that are designated for security screening. The amendments were made following extensive consultations with stakeholders and further enhance Canada's aviation security framework, as well as facilitate compliance.

The amendments to the Canadian Aviation Security Regulations, 2012, require that non-passengers enter restricted areas in airports only at access points where the Canadian Air Transportation Security Authority (CATSA) is conducting screening. These amendments will enhance Canada's overall aviation security program.

"Aviation security is a top priority for Transport Canada," Raitt (pictured) said. "We constantly review and update our regulations to maintain a secure air transportation system and meet international standards."

Raitt said the changes will be seamless for travellers. Strengthening aviation security is an important part of Transport Canada's ongoing commitment to protect the travelling public, the aviation industry, its workers and infrastructure.

Since early 2013, Transport Canada has consulted with air carriers, operators of aerodromes, the Canadian Airports Council and CATSA on the enhancements to the non-passenger screening program.
