The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority’s (CATSA’s) CT X-ray technology is now available on one screening line at Toronto Pearson (YYZ) Terminal 1 International checkpoint, with more to come in 2025.
The new piece of 3D X-ray technology allows liquids, aerosols and gels to remain packed away during screening, as long as they don’t exceed the 100-ml limit. Medical devices and other large electronics — including laptops — can stay in the carry-on bags as well.

The new machines have been rolling out this fall, with Calgary, Montreal and Ottawa among the first airports to receive them. The process is part of CATSA’s national deployment program, which will bring CT X-ray to screening lines at more airports over a multi-year period.
“We are excited to see the CT X-ray technology arrive at Toronto Pearson. We know innovations in technology help enhance passenger experience,” said Khalil Lamrabet, Chief Operations Officer, Toronto Pearson.
“With this new equipment, travellers will be able to move through security screening in a faster, more efficient way. We are confident this will create a smoother journey.”
