Can I Bring Compressed gases on a Plane to Canada?
Compressed gases
Not Allowed
According to CATSA guidelines, certain exemptions apply for carry-on baggage, such as compressed gas cylinders for medical use or as part of a self-inflating life jacket. Your air carrier may agree to transport compressed gases for non-medical use (e.g. paintball cylinders/guns, scuba tanks, self-inflating life jacket), in checked baggage only, provided certain conditions are met.
The final decision rests with the CATSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint. Official CATSA Rules →
