Calgary is serviced by one International Airport and one Regional Airport. Calgary International AirportThe Calgary International Airport's passenger facilities are considered to be the best in the world. In 2004, J.D. Power and Associates ranked Calgary's airport number one in passenger satisfaction for airports with less than 10 million passengers per year in its Global Airport Satisfaction Index Study.In additional to a modern terminal, the Calgary International Airport has award-winning, first-class cargo facilities and services for any needs, including a premier livestock handling facility, on-airport refrigeration facilities and 24/7 operations with no curfew. Five Trade Parks on airport land promote and support economic development and enhance businesses' abilities to reach over 50 million people within one day's travel by truck. Calgary is the only Canadian city with 24/7 air cargo service to Asia and Europe. While air cargo facilities have expanded considerably to meet demand, the airport continues to have the land, resources and commitment to add facilities as business grows. Spacious, modern and friendly, Calgary's airport has non-stop flights to 66 cities around the world and is Canada's fourth busiest airport. It serves more than 11.3 million passengers a year (8.1 million domestic passengers, 2.2 million trans-border passengers and 900,000 international passengers). Additional Calgary International Airport Statistics: Springbank AirportOperated and maintained by the Calgary Airport Authority, the Springbank Airport is a Canada Customs-designated airport of entry located 10 kilometres west of Calgary just off the TransCanada Highway in the Municipal District of Rocky View No. 44. It occupies about 420 hectares (1,040 acres) and is the gateway to the Canadian Rockies and conveniently close to the towns of Cochrane and Bragg Creek.Rated by Transportation Canada as a Local Commercial (Satellite) Sub Class V airport, Springbank Airport is a reliever to the Calgary International Airport. It is also a base for private and commercial light aircraft operations including pilot training, charter services and recreational flying. Airport tenants provide onsite services for fuel sales, flight training, aircraft maintenance, aircraft parking and hangar storage. The majority of the aviation activity at the airport is associated with flight training, which accounts for about 80 per cent of total aircraft movements at Springbank Airport. Calgary's favourable economic climate has led to a significant increase in recreational flying at the airport and the Calgary Airport Authority has developed a 10-year master plan to expand and upgrade the airport's facilities and services to serve a wider segment of the aviation sector. |
