Application / Regulation advice Flying with Prohib’s

Hi folks,

Does anybody have any experience flying commercial domestically with prohibited rifles?

I’m moving from Ontario to BC in the fall. Among my handguns, shotguns, rifles etc, I have prohibited 2024 era ban rifles that need to come with me aswell.

I can’t seem to find a definitive answer if these are even allowed on planes.
Any insight would be appreciated.
Cheers

As per SOR/2025-87 (https://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2025/2025-03-26/html/sor-dors87-eng.html) you are covered to transport them without an ATT.

As other have suggested, driving is definitely the best and easiest option. Air carriers in my experience are not who I'd want to deal with, and relinquishing my firearms to baggage handlers and CATSA is something I only do when absolutely necessary.
