Montréal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) has upgraded its security screening process with the introduction of the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority’s (CATSA) CT X-ray technology.
The enhancement allows passengers to keep permitted liquids and electronics in their carry-on luggage during screening, significantly streamlining the checkpoint experience.

This not only elevates security measures but also speeds up the screening process for passengers at YUL’s domestic and international checkpoints.
This move is part of CATSA’s national deployment programme, aiming to bolster security through CT X-ray screening over a multi-year period across various airports in Canada.
The collaboration between CATSA and Aéroports de Montréal is pivotal in the continuation of this goal.
The CT X-ray equipment provides three-dimensional, rotatable images to help screening officers better detect explosives and other prohibited items.

Earlier this year, Airbus partnered with some of North America’s busiest airports in Texas and Canada, including YUL, to assess the viability of hydrogen use.
Notably, YUL, along with Toronto Pearson International Airport and Vancouver International Airport, have signed memorandums of understanding with Airbus and ZeroAvia to explore hydrogen infrastructure for their operations.
Airbus vice president for the ZEROe Ecosystem Karine Guenan called Canada “one of the most promising regions” for hydrogen hubs, noting that the three alliances would enable Airbus’ research to “cover the country from coast to coast.”
