A Guide to Calgary International Airport (YYC)
YYC is Canada’s fourth-busiest airport and serves as the primary gateway to the Canadian Rockies, handling nearly 19 million passengers annually. As the global headquarters and main hub for WestJet, as well as a focus city for Air Canada, it connects travellers to a wide array of destinations across North America, Europe, and Asia.
The airport is well-regarded for its unique “Western hospitality,” best exemplified by the famous White Hat Volunteers who greet arriving passengers. Structurally, YYC is designed as a single, expansive terminal building containing five connected concourses (A through E). This layout is intended to streamline the passenger experience, allowing for seamless transfers between domestic and international flights often without the need to exit the secure airside zone.
