YYC AIRPORT & FLIGHT STATUS

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 has been managed by the Calgary Airport Authority for the past 20 years.

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. 
Due to construction of a new runway and terminal extension, Barlow Trail between 48 Av. & Airport Trail NE, and McCall Way north of 78 Av NE are closed.  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 four runways and an estimated 13.6 million passengers in 2012, Calgary International Airport is now hub to WestJet, and is served by domestic and international airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe. As the  spectacular beauty of the Canadian Rockies draws many tourists, regular airlines & charters offer many additional seasonal flights. 

WestJet
offers nonstop service to Dallas/ Texas,  while its Chicago O'Hare arrivals are timed to connect with American Airlines (a code-share partner) to some East Coast Hubs; it also offers seasonal flights to Myrtle Beach.
Air Canada offers 3 weekly flights to Tokyo Narita
