Canadian Air Transport Security Authority
General Information
Background
The creation of the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) stems from the Government of Canada's commitment to enhance air transportation security in response to the tragic events of September 11, 2001. CATSA came into force on April 1, 2002, upon the passage of the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority Act (Bill C-49). CATSA is a Crown Corporation based in the National Capital Region. It reports to Parliament through the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities.
