OTTAWA, ON, Oct. 23, 2024 /CNW/ – Passengers travelling through the Ottawa International Airport (YOW) now have access to the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority’s (CATSA’s) new CT X-ray technology. The installation of this first CT X-ray on one screening line at the domestic/international security checkpoint will offer travellers an elevated security screening experience. They will no longer need to remove bags with permitted liquids, aerosols and gels (100ml or less), medical devices or large electronics – including laptops – from their carry-on bags.

Passengers travelling through the YOW airport now have access to the CATSA’s new CT X-ray technology.

YOW is Canada’s second airport to receive this advanced security screening technology as part of CATSA’s national deployment program, which will bring CT X-ray to screening lines at several airports over a multi-year period.

CATSA looks forward to continuing its collaboration with the Ottawa International Airport Authority throughout the deployment of the new CT technology on all screening lines.

Along with the ever entertaining host Rudy Jay, the new series visits nine installations to explore a slice of life for servicemen and women. Through talking with chefs, kitchen prep staff, service members, squadron and division leaders Rudy Jay gets the insider scoop on the best dishes and base activities. He then heads to the nearest kitchen and tries the base favorites. This exciting new series is available exclusively on the AFLIVE streaming app.

In the second episode, Rudy Jay explores Vandenberg, Space Force Base, with an active spaceport known for its rocket launches. The base offers 44 miles of pristine beach access, nestled in a serene national park-like setting offering beachside bungalows; available for use by Department of Defense ID cardholders.

Amid the coastal landscapes, Rudy Jay talks with Lt Col Matthew Houser, Commander, 30th Force Support Squadron about the base recently earning the 2023 Maj. Gen. Eugene L.

It is home to the Surf Lane Grill, most known for serving Brenda Base’s authentic Filipino Thursday lunch special. While talking with Rudy Jay, Brenda Base, the Surf Lanes Grill Manager from the 30th Force Support Squadron, shares the origins of her highly sought-after Lunch special.
