Calgary YYC Airport Overview

Calgary International Airport YYC is the main access point for Canada's Banff National Park and the Canadian Rockies and has the most extensive passenger service in central Canada, offering nonstop flights to Europe & Asia..

The Airport is approximately 15 km from the City of Calgary and approximately 144 km from Banff in Canada’s Alberta Province, and can be easily accessed via Highway 2 (96 Ave NE Exit); which connects south to 16 Ave NE, taking you west to both Highways 1A and 1. 
As of April 2011 access to the Airport has changed: Barlow Trail between 48 Av. & Airport Trail NE, and McCall Way north of 78 Av NE are closed for construction of a new runway & terminal extension. Also, the City has started construction of two direct routes to the Air Terminal: Route 430 North Crosstown & Route 100 Airport/McKnight - Westwind Station.

With three runways and an estimated 12.2 million passengers a year, Calgary International Airport is served by domestic and international airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe. The spectacular beauty of the Canadian Rockies draws many tourists, and airlines & charters offer many additional seasonal flights.
Starting February 4, 2012, Air Canada is launching its non-stop daily flights to Frankfurt on Airbus A330-300. By late April 2012 Air Canda hopes to add 5 weekly nonstops to Tokyo on a year-round basis, pending Japan's approval.
