Airports at each end
Leaving Calgary
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.
Arriving in Umeå
Umeå is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Umeå Airport (UME), 4 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,551 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Örnsköldsvik Airport (OER, 78 km), Skellefteå Airport (SFT, 97 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Umeå Airport | UME | 4 km (2 mi) | 7,551 ft | 24 ft |
| Örnsköldsvik Airport (regional) | OER | 78 km (48 mi) | 6,607 ft | 354 ft |
| Skellefteå Airport (regional) | SFT | 97 km (60 mi) | 8,268 ft | 157 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 6,641 km (4,127 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
