Calgary – Calgary Airports is proud to operate safe, secure, and efficient airports and promote economic development for the community we serve. Because we operate independently of government funding, we rely upon fees paid by passengers to help improve and maintain the infrastructure at YYC.

As our region continues to grow, and with it the demand for air travel, we need to ensure we can keep pace. In order to fund projects that maintain our infrastructure, expand capacity and improve the passenger experience, we need to adjust the Airport Improvement Fee.

Starting January 1, 2026, the AIF for most departing passengers from YYC will increase from $35 to $40, plus applicable taxes.
