Calgary International Airport (YYC) is located around 17 km northeast of downtown Calgary, and serves the Canadian province of Alberta, including Calgary itself, and the surrounding region.
At the back-end of 2016, it completed a major upgrade which saw the addition of a fourth runway - the longest in Canada, stretching for 14,000-ft - as well as a new terminal building, measuring two million sq ft.
The AB-2 is the main highway connecting the airport to the centre of Calgary.

Heading to downtown Calgary is a very good idea. Here, you’ll find an eclectic range of restaurants, bars and shops. However, you don’t need to venture too far out to experience Canada’s amazing raw wildlife and nature at Nose Hill Park or along the Bow River.
If heading downtown or into the wild isn’t your thing, there are many quaint and peaceful towns for you to explore within an hour’s drive of Calgary Airport, such as Airdrie, Olds, Okotoks, High River and Drumheller, as well as Red Deer - Alberta’s third most populated city.
About 80 minutes west of Calgary Airport is Banff National Park, Canada’s oldest national park, spanning 6,641 sq km and offering amazing mountain scenery in the heart of the Canadian Rockies.
Just under three hours north is Edmonton, the capital city of the Alberta province, with its beautiful William Hawrelak Park.
Meanwhile, driving 330 km and almost four hours south is the 1,349 sq km Glacier National Park.
