Keeping You Safe and Secure

Edmonton Airports, your airline and dozens of agencies around the world work tirelessly to ensure the safety and security of passengers using Edmonton International Airport (EIA). The key agencies responsible for safe and secure air travel in Canada and the US are:

• Transport Canada is responsible for the safety and security of travellers on the ground and in the air. It also sets and enforces the standards for airport and airline operations.
• Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) is responsible for screening all passengers, personnel and their belongings at the airport.
• Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) manages the movement of people and goods into Canada.
• US Customs & Border Protection (USCBP) manages the movement of people and goods into the United States. For public inquiries, their office hours at Edmonton International Airport are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 09:00 - 13:00. They can be reached directly at 780 890 4514.
• Royal Canadian Mounted Police is responsible for policing EIA, which has its own RCMP detachment.

Your safety and security are top priority for EIA and its more than 65 airlines, agencies and service providers. Edmonton Airports also understands that vigilant security need not come at the cost of excellent customer service, and remains committed to ensuring that passengers enjoy a comfortable, efficient and pleasant airport experience.
