Centralized Passenger Screening

YYC’s new centralized security screening combines multiple checkpoints into one efficient location for easier travel.

The first phase of Centralized Security Screening can accommodate 1,400 to 1,540 passengers per hour through seven lanes.

Located between doors 4 and 7, this new screening point will improve your passenger experience through:

• Streamlined resources: Better together. One checkpoint means our security team and systems are better syncronized,  creating a faster, more responsive experience for every guest.
• Keep it all in your bag Enhanced CT X-ray technology lets you keep all electronics, permitted liquids, aerosols and gels in your bag.
• Accessibility improvements: Our Centralized  Security Screening area was designed using universal principles for accessibility toreduce travel barriersfor passengers of all abilities, including apparent and non-apparent disabilities. This includes dedicated queues, plenty of assistance and an accessibility hub, which will open in 2027.
• Scalability and future readiness: Built for tomorrow. We’re anticipating a 40% increase in travellers moving through YYC over the next decade – was designed and built to ensure we’re ready to support guests for years to come.

More to come

In early 2027, we’ll expand from seven to nine passenger screening lanes. Centralized Security Screening will accommodate a capacity of 1,800 to 1,980 passengers per hour through all nine lanes.
