Flights to Calgary
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Calgary is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Calgary International Airport (YYC), 9 km (6 mi) from the centre, whose 14,000-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Calgary International Airport | YYC | 9 km (6 mi) | 14,000 ft | 3,557 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 14,000 ft, YYC can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 3,557 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
