Two Air Canada employees were taken into custody on August 26, 2026 as part of a Royal Canadian Mounted Police drug investigation focused on Montreal‑Trudeau Airport in Dorval. The arrests were made after police obtained search warrants that targeted the workers' personal residences, a vehicle, and the airline's operational base at the airport. Both individuals are being held while the RCMP continue to assess their involvement in the ongoing probe.
Search warrants were executed at two separate homes in the Greater Montreal area, as well as at a vehicle linked to the employees. In addition, officers entered the Air Canada work facility located at the Dorval airport to gather evidence related to the case. The coordinated raids were carried out simultaneously, reflecting the scope of the investigation and the authorities' intent to secure any material that could shed light on alleged drug activity.
The arrests form part of a broader RCMP drug investigation that has extended to multiple locations across the Greater Montreal region. While details of the specific substances or alleged offenses have not been released, the operation demonstrates law enforcement's focus on potential illicit activity within the aviation sector. The police have not identified any additional suspects, and no further arrests have been reported as of the date of the operation.
