James Bogusz, president and CEO for the Regina Airport Authority, said in an email that while it was a “non-event,” internal teams were notified of the nature of the concern in case further response was needed.

“There were no impacts at YQR in terms of operation,” Bogusz said.

“Unfortunately threats against major infrastructure like airports do occur time to time, and we work with the RPS (Regina Police Service) for any matters like this.”

The investigation is ongoing as police work to hold the person or people responsible for making the threats.
