Calgary International Airport (YYC) is WestJet’s home hub, sitting about 11 miles northeast of downtown Calgary.

A Modern International Terminal

YYC added a major international terminal in the 2010s alongside its original domestic terminal, both connected so transferring between domestic and international flights doesn’t require leaving the building.

An Easy 18-Minute Drive Downtown

Calgary’s airport sits close enough to downtown that a taxi or rideshare takes about 18 minutes under normal traffic, while public buses cover the same trip in roughly 38 minutes.

A Base for the Rockies

YYC is also the main airport for reaching Banff and the Canadian Rockies, so many visitors pick up a rental car here rather than staying in Calgary alone.
