Security

Safety and security is Vancouver International Airport's top priority. Pack smart and fly secure.

Passenger Pre-Board Screening

Regardless of your destination, all passengers are required to go through pre-board screening before going to their gate for departure. At YVR, there are security checkpoints in the Domestic, International, U.S. and South Terminals.

In Canada, the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) is responsible for the screening of passengers and their bags at airports.
