OTTAWA, February 27, 2025 —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 enhancing the passenger experience.
The Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) is the first airport in Canada to trial this new line that offers the benefits of a CATSA Plus screening line by allowing multiple (up to three) passengers to place their belongings in screening bins at the same time.
“We are proud to be the first airport in Canada to test the brand-new CATSA Plus personalized lane, equipped with CT X-ray technology. Thanks to this initiative, travelers will experience an even smoother and faster passage through the security checkpoint, just in time for spring break. Our team is constantly committed to enhancing the experience and service provided to passengers departing from YQB, and this project, carried out in close collaboration with CATSA, is an excellent example of that.”
- Stéphane Poirier, President and CEO of Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB).
