Maybe someone can explain the need for this:

"Within minutes of Riar (the pilot) being handed the memo, a scene from a
Hollywood thriller unfolded. White Ford Broncos from the Greater Toronto
Airports Authority zoomed onto the tarmac, encircling his jet and others
in the Jetsgo fleet. The company, as it was doing at airports across
Canada, was safeguarding its biggest assets, 14 Boeing MD-83 and 15 Fokker
100 jets, an aging fleet of leased and purchased planes."

The plane was parked at the gate.



....I believe the security is to prevent chaos.

Otherwise organizations like the Ottawa Airport, owed hundreds of thousands
in fees, would attempt to descend on the planes with claims and try to seize
them in lieu of payment.
