HALIFAX, Dec. 11, 2018 /CNW/ - The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) and the Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) invite media to attend a holiday travel tips session.
As YHZ is projecting new records in passenger numbers this year, we are expecting a very busy holiday season!
CATSA will also offer a display of recently surrendered items from Halifax security checkpoints.
Finally, we will take the occasion to introduce the new CATSA Plus, a technology providing more time to divest for those passengers who need it, while allowing more experienced travellers to continue through the rest of the screening process.
