CATSA Prohibited Items 2024 - CATSA Carry-On Rules 2024

CATSA (Canadian Air Transport Security Authority) is responsible for security screening at Canadian airports. This is the 2024 list of prohibited items provided by CATSA, with regulations about whether these items can be taken through security in your carry-on, checked in your regular luggage, or are completely prohibited from being transported. Please review this list prior to your flight in order to have a smooth trip through airport security.
