LIQUIDS, GELS AND AEROSOLS ARE ALLOWED UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS
As of 4:00 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, September 26, 2006, and until further notice, the following security measures will be in place.
Passengers will be permitted to bring liquids, gels and aerosols through security screening at Canadian airports provided that the items are packaged in containers with a capacity of 90 ml / 90 grams (3 oz.) or less, and that the containers fit comfortably in one clear, closed and resealable plastic bag with a capacity of no more than 1 litre (1 quart). One bag per passenger will be permitted.
Passengers may continue to bring aboard baby formula, baby food or milk if a child aged two years and under is travelling. These items are exempted from the container size restrictions. In addition, they are not required to be placed in the 1L plastic bag.
Liquid prescription medicine with a name that matches the passenger’s ticket or boarding pass, and other essential non-prescription liquid medicines (e.g. cough syrup, ointment, moisturizers, decongestant nasal spray) continue to be permitted and are exempted from the container size restrictions. In addition, they are not required to be placed in the 1L plastic bag.
For liquid and solid medicine, it is recommended that passengers have documentation supporting their medical condition.
To speed up the screening process, passengers should place all liquids, gels, and aerosols from their carry-on bags into the trays provided at the beginning of the screening process.
Otherwise, restrictions of liquids, gels and aerosols, and all other permitted and non-permitted items in carry-on and checked baggage remain the same. |
