Getting Around YYC Airport
YYC Airport is organized into two main terminals: the Domestic Terminal and the International Terminal. The Domestic Terminal, a four-storey structure, handles flights within Canada and is divided into four concourses: A1, A2, B, and C. The ground level is dedicated to arrivals and baggage claim, while the second level is for departures, including check-in and security. The mezzanine level features a food court and airline offices. Concourse A1 is for WestJet regional non-jet flights, Concourse A2 serves gates A11-A24, Concourse B includes gates B31-B40, and Concourse C covers gates C50-C65.
The International Terminal, opened in 2016, handles all international and U.S. flights. It consists of five levels, with arrivals and customs on the ground floor, and departures, including U.S. customs preclearance, on the second floor. The third level contains additional international departure gates, and the mezzanine level houses U.S. departure lounges. This terminal includes gates 70 through 97, split between Concourse D for international flights and Concourse E for U.S. flights.
To facilitate movement between the Domestic and International Terminals, YYC offers the YYC Link shuttle service.
