Permitted and non-permitted items
Business BUSINESS
At CATSA, we know that many business travellers prefer to travel with carry-on baggage rather than checked luggage, as it reduces the risk of delays and most importantly, saves time! Here you can save even more time by knowing exactly what aviation security regulations may apply to your choice of carry-on items. Pay particular attention to some common liquids, aerosols and gels (such as shaving cream or perfume) which, if taken on board as carry-on items, must be in containers of 100 ml or less and zipped up in a transparent 1 L bag. The list below is in alphabetical order and you can click on the + box if you need more information on any particular item.

Release valves on aerosols must be protected by a cap or other suitable means to prevent inadvertent release of the contents.
