New Regulations for Air Travel
There are some new regulations for air travel today. All air travellers’ names will be checked against Canada’s new "no-fly'’ list before they’re issued boarding passes. The new rules affect flights within Canada as well as flights into and out of the country. And children over the age of 12 will now be required to show id before boarding an aircraft. The new Transport Canada regulations state that anyone 12 years of age or over must show a valid id including their name, birth date and gender, which must match the name shown on the plane ticket. Right now it doesn’t have to be a photo id for travel within Canada. but as of September 18th, a photo id card or two pieces of identification will be needed. The regulations are part of Canada’s new Identity Screening Regulations for air travel.
