Calgary International Airport

CalgaryTiger said:
Interesting I didn't know when when I connect in an airport I pay the fee once, even if it is a long connection and I leave the airport.

The airport should want to count how many people are paying fees, wouldn't they be interested in predicting how much money they bring in based on these numbers?

Do you see what I'm saying?

That's not completely true, they do collect the AIF if your connection is over 4 hours for NA and 24 hours for international. So if you spend a day in Calgary on a connection, you'll likely be paying the AIF twice.

This ratio is reasonably consistent over time; it was 0.315 in 2022 (4548.5/14452.1). Here's the ratio over time:
View attachment 603340
The operating detail is not reported prior to the 2021 financial report (which includes both 2020 and 2019 operating information), however in the previous financial reports, the airport improvement fee revenue is reported; it's a fixed amount ($30 at the time) per passenger and applied to all originating passengers (i.e. at initial enplaning), so a very good estimate of local enplanements can be made. While the chart looks like a lot of change, note the axis; the total range is 6 percentage points, but excluding 2020, the range is about 0.02. The higher the ratio, the fewer connecting passengers there are.

Thanks for the historical data. It's interesting to see despite the rise in international and transborder routes, which many attribute to WJ growing the US - YYC - Canada/International connection, people leaving from Calgary is actually increasing as a proportion of all travelers.
 
American has increased CLT-YYC to 4x weekly and extended the season until October 5th in S25. Was Saturdays only from June 8-Aug 31 in 2024.

In S25, YYC will have 7x weekly flights to North Carolina (4x CLT / 3x RDU).

Other increases on WS:
DEN: Up to 10x weekly (2x on Thu / Fri & Sun)
ATL: Up to 15x weekly (3x on Sat)
DTW: Up to 8x weekly (2x on Wed)
ICN: 4x weekly
NRT: Daily for entire IATA summer schedule (Mar. 29-Oct. 26)
SNA: 1x daily

PDX moves fully to mainline 737s, meaning no more Encore transborder in the summer.

I’m not surprised ATL has gone 15x weekly. The 3 times I’ve flown the route (return) the plane has been 100% full. I could see it going 3x Daily soon

Unless my eyes are deceiving me it doesn't look like YYC has monthly passenger stats on their site anymore.

They post them here but it just hasn't been updated since the August numbers.
 
The old East-West pointing runway (Runway 08/26) was decommissioned back in October and redesignated as taxiway Lima.

YYC’s airfield will see additional changes this year

After conducting a thorough review and consulting with stakeholders, The Calgary Airport Authority made the decision to transform Runway 08/26 to Taxiway Lima. This month we officially kick off construction, which we anticipate will conclude by the end of November 2024. As of Tuesday, Oct. 2...

Was this mentioned here?
 
WS extended its schedule into Winter 2025/2026.

-ORD has been extended to year-round, operating the entire winter season 3x weekly
-LHR takes over the WS001/002 flight numbers from the former LGW service.

What is usually the reason or significance behind a renumbering of flight pairs?

I don't think there is any. But numbers like 001/002 are like the "flagship" routes for an airline so they want to put it on international service. AC has the first 60 or 70 as their transpacific routes, which is the furthest they fly. Westjet used 001/002 when they launched their transatlantic service, which was to LGW at the time.

🤔 New tail coming to YYC?
 
Similar ads have been around for a while. Its for connecting in Vancouver. Now, if they wanted to cut into the connections market...

Here are their current NA routes:

Looking at that, if you had the choice, would you go for MSP, RDU, PHX or Calgary if you had an extra frame?
 
WS has increased ICN to 6x weekly for S25. This brings the Asia service to 13x weekly overall. It's also been re-timed to depart 1 hour earlier.

Updated schedule starting April 27, 2025: (3x weekly from Apr. 2-26 remains unchanged)
WS86 YYC 15:55 - 18:45+1 ICN 789 X2
WS87 ICN 20:45 - 16:12 YYC 789 X3

However to make room for this it came at the expense of some Europe flying with EDI/BCN/FCO all losing 1x weekly.

They only launched Denver recently, which is probably the main connecting hub. Unlikely we'd get Turkish since they're Star Alliance and Westjet mainly partners with SkyTeam.
