Tenant Development Services
The Tenant Development Services team supports our Partners making installations, repairs, or upgrades into their leased premises within the Airport terminal building and across airport land through the Construction & Installation Permit (CIP) process. All Partner construction projects require a Calgary Airport Authority-issued CIP prior to the start of any construction: any work without an approved permit may be shut down.
The CIP process assesses every project to ensure it meets airport regulatory and design standards, minimizes the overall impact to guests and does not harm airport infrastructure. The CIP process provides support to our Partners through the entire duration of their project from design review to final inspections & occupancy.
Overview
Once a CIP application is received by our Online form, it will be checked for completeness. Once the application is deemed complete, it will be circulated to internal YYC teams to consider and comment on the impact of the project to the facility and list any accompanying conditions for the installation. YYC review comments will be compiled and provided to the applicant. Upon a satisfactory review, YYC will issue a Letter of Authorization to apply for other permits needed from other agencies that assess projects for building code compliance: the City of Calgary or Rocky View County (Springbank Airport).
NOTE: The City of Calgary and Rockyview County shall not process a Building Permit application for work on Airport lands without a Letter from YYC.
CIP applications may qualify for an expedited review by YYC if the project scope has minimal impact and does not require approvals from any other agency. These types of projects may include existing Partners making minor improvements, conducting maintenance, or replacing existing fixtures to support their businesses.
