Several Canadian airports have had frustrated travellers in long lines due to a shortage of security screeners.
Vancouver has seen particularly long waits, with passengers saying they have also missed domestic flights due to security screening delays.
In an email to the CBC News, the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) said it’s making every effort to address the issue — but it can’t find enough workers.
CATSA, which is the federal crown corporation that’s responsible for all passenger security screening, says once it does manage to hire enough staff, it will also take time to train them.
