Edmonton International Airport (IATA: YEG, ICAO: CYEG) is the primary air passenger and air cargo facility in Edmonton, Alberta as well as a major hub facility for Northern Alberta and Northern Canada. The airport is experiencing the fastest rate of growth in passenger traffic of any major airport in the nation.[5] It is Canada's 5th busiest airport by passenger traffic and the 13 busiest by aircraft movements[3]. Located approximately 35 kilometres (22 mi) south of Edmonton's central business district, it served almost 6.1 million passengers in 2007[4] and is operated by the Edmonton Airports Authority. It is WestJet's third busiest hub[5], as well as a focus city for Air Canada Jazz.
Edmonton International Airport is located within the Edmonton Capital Region, close to the towns of Devon and Beaumont, the city of Leduc, and adjacent to the Nisku industrial park. It is immediately west of the Queen Elizabeth II Highway, south of Highway 19, and 1.6 kilometres north of Highway 39. Within this immediate radius of the terminal there are many full-service hotels and offsite parking lots complete with terminal shuttle service to offer a full range of services to the travelling public.
Edmonton International Airport is one of eight Canadian Airports that has US Border Pre-clearance facilities, where travellers clear US Customs at the airport prior to boarding flights bound for any airport in the United States.
