Starting today, passengers using Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport must bring their baggage through the terminal to a separate drop-off area after check-in.

The Yukon government is working with the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority to upgrade the baggage handling system in the 35-year-old terminal building.

Due to the construction, the temporary system will be in place until the end of February 2021, the government said Monday.

At that point, passengers can return to checking their bags as usual.

Passengers are advised to arrive at the airport earlier than normal before a flight to avoid any delays.
