At all airports in Canada, the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) is responsible for the application of the 100% hold baggage screening requirements. In March 2012, CATSA launched an extensive multi-year financing plan to replace the existing hold baggage screening equipment in all Canadian airports with more efficient Standard 3 equipment. With the approval of CATSA, Montreal’s airport commissioned ALSTEF in December 2014 to carry out the modifications related to the replacement of the screening machines in the trans-border terminal of Montreal-Trudeau International Airport.

Aéroports de Montréal is the third airport, after Nice and Roissy Charles de Gaulle, to entrust ALSTEF with the integration of Standard 3 CTX 9800 machines in its baggage handling facility; strengthening the ALSTEF position as a leader in this type of integration.
