The Thunder Bay International Airports Authority has announced the expansion of its passenger security screening facilities, delivered in collaboration with the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA).
The project will modernize and expand the existing pre-board screening checkpoint, adding a third screening line to increase overall screening capacity. It is being delivered using a progressive design-build delivery model, which enables early collaboration, risk management and schedule certainty. Construction will be led by Tom Jones Corporation, with Form Studio Architects providing design services, Keewatin Aski serving as the owner’s representative, and overall project oversight for the airport authority led by T J Ahvenniemi, director of facilities, environment and sustainability.
Construction is expected to be completed by the end of June 2026. During the project, the airport authority and CATSA will work closely to minimize impacts on passengers and airport operations.
