Winnipeg Airport Installs CT X-Ray Scanner

Canadian Air Transport Security Authority this week installed the Winnipeg Richardson International Airport's first CT X-ray scanner at security Line 4, part of a multi-year national upgrade. Passengers using the scanner no longer need to remove approved liquids, aerosols, gels, medical devices, or large electronics, improving processing times and passenger experience. Remaining lines at Winnipeg are expected to be upgraded by the end of 2026.
Key Points
- 1Installs CT scanner at Line 4 enabling carry-on liquids, medical devices, and laptops to remain packed.
- 2Reduces screening time and processing delays, improving passenger experience and checkpoint throughput.
- 3Allows security teams to expedite queues; practitioners should plan for operational changes and training.
Scoring Rationale
Official national deployment increases checkpoint efficiency, but local scope and limited novelty constrain broader industry impact.
