Flights to Edmonton
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Edmonton is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Edmonton International Airport (YEG), 28 km (17 mi) from the centre, whose 11,000-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Edmonton International Airport | YEG | 28 km (17 mi) | 11,000 ft | 2,373 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,000 ft, YEG can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 2,373 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
