Aviation Security

The Government of Canada has committed more than $2.6 billion to enhancing aviation security since 2001, and air travel has become much safer as a result. Transport Canada is working diligently to make further improvements for a secure Canadian aviation system — one that is protected against unlawful interference, terrorist attacks or use as a means to attack our allies. The department's aviation security programs include the following:

• Canada's National Civil Aviation Security Program
• Aviation Security Regulatory Framework Program
• Aviation Security Oversight Program
• Airport Policing Assistance Program
• Air Cargo Security Program
• Aviation Security Backgrounders
• Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) Review
• Passenger's Luggage 
• Prohibited Items List
• Security measures for liquids, gels and aerosols
• Notice To Travellers
