Two men charged following seizure of 60 kilograms of drugs at airport

We have charged two men with drug distribution and exporting offences after 60 kilograms of cannabis resin was discovered in luggage at the Calgary International Airport last week.

On Friday, Nov. 14, 2025, at about 8 a.m., Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) called for assistance after opening four checked bags that had been flagged during routine x-ray screening. Inside the bags, screening officers discovered vacuum-sealed packages wrapped in blankets, which raised further concerns.

Subsequent testing by law enforcement confirmed the presence of drugs. The contents of the suitcases, believed to be hashish, weighed a total of 60 kilograms with an estimated street value of $1.2 million.

Working with airport staff, we identified the luggage destination and reviewed CCTV footage to locate the suspects. Both men were arrested without incident when they boarded a Vancouver-bound aircraft.

We believe the suspects planned to travel to Sri Lanka using connecting flights.

Kody Carl KLIMOVE, 27, and Corey Daniel AIRHART, 34, were each charged with one count of possession for the purpose to distribute and one count of possession with intent to export. They are both scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2026.

We want to thank our partners at the Calgary International Airport and CATSA for their vigilance and assistance with this case.
