Infrastructure

The operations and infrastructure team's focus at The Calgary Airport Authority, is to build, operate and maintain airport facilities and land, in the pursuit to run safe, secure and efficient airports that promote economic and community development. 

The infrastructure team oversees the systematic development of airport facilities at both YYC Calgary International Airport and Springbank (YBW), to serve the needs of all airport users, both present and into the future. Airlines, tenants, passengers, cargo and those coming to our airports for work, require safe, functional and affordable airport infrastructure to meet their needs and a successful operation. 

Through YYC’s capital program, tenant improvement initiatives and as supported by the Authority’s Spatial Data Services, the infrastructure team ensures that airport development projects deliver suitable and required infrastructure towards organizational effectiveness and growth.
