Canada’s New Government today announced increased security at all Canadian airports following a major counter-terrorism operation in the United Kingdom. Individuals in the UK were allegedly intent on committing acts of terrorism using explosives on flights destined to North America.
In light of these events, the government has implemented aviation security measures to help ensure the ongoing security of the travelling public. Effective immediately and for all international and domestic flights, liquids or gels in containers of any size are not permitted to be brought onboard by passengers; this includes liquids or gels in carry-on baggage.
The Government of Canada advises all air travellers to keep these measures in mind when preparing for a flight, and to contact their carrier regarding any possible delays. The Government of Canada remains committed to taking all measures necessary to protect the safety and security of Canadians.
