Credit card firms investigate fraud at Canadian airport kiosks
Low-cost Canadian airline WestJet Airlines Ltd. has temporarily stopped the practice of allowing customers to use credit cards as identification when checking into flights at self-service kiosks at all Canadian airports.
The move, which was announced yesterday, was prompted by fears of fraud related to the use of credit cards at self-service kiosks in Toronto's Pearson International Airport.
A spokeswoman for the Calgary, Alberta-based airline said today that Visa Inc. had recently informed WestJet about investigations related to the "potential possibility of fraud" stemming from the use of credit cards at Pearson's self-service check-in kiosks.
