Prince George Airport experiencing temporary disruptions to checked baggage screenings

The Prince George Airport Authority (PGAA) is advising those taking to the skies that checked baggage screenings at the airport are being done manually.

This is due to a temporary disruption in the automated screening system, unrelated to last week’s outage.

Passengers departing from the airport may experience delays at baggage drop during this time.

“We’re aware of the current baggage screening disruption and are working with CATSA to support their response and minimize the impact to passengers.” said the Prince George Airport Authority.

“We appreciate everyone’s patience as efforts continue to restore the system.”

PGAA is working alongside the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority to support the manual screening process.

Updates will be posted to both the airport’s website and Facebook page.

More detailed information about the disruption can be found here.
