Members of the Canadian Airports Council and airlines have established a high level steering committee: the Airport Pre-Board Screening Efficiency Team. This team will conduct an industry-led study focussed on identifying possible ways to speed up screening at security screening checkpoints by reviewing processes and technology without compromising the security of travellers. The results of this study are expected in a few months. Recommendations will be made to the Government of Canada once a review is completed.
The nine member team includes representatives from airport authorities and airlines, specifically:
Craig Richmond, President and CEO, Vancouver Airport Authority;
Tom Ruth, President and CEO, Edmonton Airports;
Mark Laroche, President and CEO, Ottawa Airport Authority;
Howard Eng, President and CEO, Greater Toronto Airports Authority;
Sam Samaddar, Airport Director, Kelowna International Airport;
Daniel-Robert Gooch; President, Canadian Airports Council;
Ed Baklor, Vice President, Guest Services, Westjet;
Nick Careen, Vice President Airports, Call Centres & Customer Relations, Air Canada; and
Veronica Gerson, Ministerial Policy and Stakeholder Advisor, will participate as an observer on behalf of the Minister of Transport.
