There are some upgrades coming to St. John’s International that will hopefully make going through security a whole lot easier.
The Canadian Air Transportation Security Association (CATSA) is currently in the process of installing a new system known as a CT X-Ray.
Once installed, passengers will be able to go through security without having to remove items like laptops, medical devices, aerosols, gels and liquids from their carry on.
All liquids that exceed 100 mL must still be removed from any carry-on baggage.
CT X-Ray machines are in use at several airports across Canada (CATSA)
The system, which is already in place at major airports like Toronto Pearson, aims to save time for travellers and improve safety with enhanced images allowing screening officers to easily examine the contents inside one’s luggage.
In a statement to VOCM News, CATSA says the machine is currently being installed, however there is no set date for when it will be up and running.
