Air Security Programs

The Passenger Protect Program (PPP) is a Canadian air security program that prevents individuals who may pose a threat to air security or who may travel by air to commit a terrorist act.

Passengers travelling to, from and within Canada are screened against the Secure Air Travel Act (SATA) list, commonly referred to as Canada’s “no fly list”. If a listed individual is flagged, the individual may be required to undergo additional screening or may be denied boarding.

• Canadian Travel Number (CTN) Will open in a separate browser window: A CTN is a unique number assigned by the Passenger Protect Office which prevents delays at the airport for travelers who have the same, or similar, name as someone on the SATA list.

The Secure Flight Program is a program developed by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) which is applicable to flights to, from and overflying the U.S. The purpose of this program is to enhance the security of domestic and international air travel through the collection of specific passenger information for comparison to the U.S. security watch lists.

• Redress Number Will open in a separate browser window: A Redress Number is a unique number provided by The Department of Homeland Security Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (DHS TRIP) to individuals who have sought resolution regarding difficulties they experienced during travel screening including watch list issues.
