OTTAWA: Air Canada and the Vancouver International Airport are investigating after a security breach Sunday afternoon allowed passengers arriving from Beijing to enter the country without going through customs.
In an email to CTV Vancouver, an airport spokesperson said a “number of passengers” from Air Canada Flight 30 were accidentally misdirected into the domestic terminal at the airport, meaning they did not have to go through customs screening first.
Passenger Crystal Friesen told CTV Vancouver that, as the passengers were leaving the airplane, the door leading towards the international terminal was closed, so all of the passengers went through the doorway leading to the domestic terminal instead.
