On June 17, the Calgary Airport Authority implemented a face-covering rule, and so far, a majority of guests and staff have been complying.
“We thank our guests and staff for playing a part in everyone’s safety, by wearing a mask in all areas of the terminal,” the airport authority said in a statement.
The temperature checks come as a pair of flights through Vancouver have been added to a public exposure list. They include flight AC311 from Montreal to Vancouver on July 24 and AC007 that left Vancouver for Hong Kong on July 26.
