In September 2024, Transport Canada quietly changed air cargo import rules for 55 predominantly European countries due to the discovery of an alleged Russian plot involving incendiary devices intended to be placed on cargo and passenger planes flying to North America. The Canadian government expressed deep concern about these allegations and communicated to Moscow that any threat to the safety and security of Canadians is unacceptable. The new regulations caused significant disruption in the air cargo system. This incident has heightened tensions between Canada and Russia and prompted increased aviation security measures.
