Major Drug Bust at Calgary Airport: $1.2M Cannabis Seized
Significant Seizure at Calgary Airport
Authorities at Calgary International Airport uncovered a massive drug haul last week, seizing 60 kilograms of cannabis resin. The discovery occurred on Friday, November 14, 2025, during routine x-ray screenings conducted by the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA).
Suspects Arrested
Two men, Kody Carl KLIMOVE, 27, and Corey Daniel AIRHART, 34, were apprehended on a Vancouver-bound aircraft. They face charges of possession for the purpose of distribution and intent to export. The seized drugs, believed to be hashish, have an estimated street value of $1.2 million.
Ongoing Efforts Against Organized Crime
This seizure highlights the concerted efforts by local and federal agencies to combat drug trafficking through Canada’s transportation hubs. Despite cannabis being legal for recreational use in Canada, unauthorized export remains illegal under the federal Cannabis Act, carrying severe penalties.
Impact on Illegal Drug Trade
The interception represents a significant disruption to illegal supply chains. Calgary International Airport continues to be a focal point for such criminal activities, with authorities working tirelessly to safeguard the community.
Public Encouraged to Help
Calgarians are urged to assist law enforcement by reporting any information related to this incident. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers.
