YEG is the primary air passenger and cargo facility for the Edmonton Metropolitan Region. Located approximately 30 kilometers (19 miles) south of downtown Edmonton in Leduc County , it serves as a critical hub for Northern Canada and a focus city for WestJet.
As Canada’s largest major airport by land area , YEG served over 8.1 million passengers in 2025. The airport operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, though specific services like US Pre-clearance and security checkpoints have distinct operating hours that travelers must plan around.
The most economical options are typically off-site lots like Airways Airport Parking (approx. $49/week) or JetSet Parking (approx. $60-$85/week).
The designated rideshare pickup area is now at the outer curb outside Door 10 in the Arrivals Paid area. Do not request your ride until you are ready to walk to this zone, as drivers cannot accept trips until they are outside the holding area.

Do not leave your vehicle unattended, unattended vehicles may be ticketed or towed.

Our sources for wait time data vary and may include air travel data aggregators, federal agencies such as the TSA, CATSA CBP, or information from the airport and its affiliated service providers. For some airports, Qsensor utilises its proprietary queue modelling technology to project wait times. Additionally, we crowdsource data from passengers who have input their wait time using the “Add Your Time” button.
Qsensor is not affiliated with any airport, airline, or associated service provider.
We regularly check queue times and flight delays for accuracy, however all times are estimates and waiting times and delays may not accurately reflect your experience. It is advisable to arrive at the airport well in advance and follow the recommendations of the airlines and airports.
There are a wide array of ways that queue data is measured. Including but not limited to looking at how long a passenger takes to get from scanning their boarding pass to exiting the security or customs area. Auditing passengers on how long it took them to pass through security or customs as well as Qsensors’ proprietary system for user added wait times.
