Fort McMurray International Airport is an airport located in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, Alberta, Canada. It is the largest airport in northern Alberta, serving the city of Fort McMurray, as well as the surrounding area. The airport offers flights to Edmonton, Calgary, and Fort Chipewyan through airlines such as Air Canada, WestJet, McMurray Aviation, and Northwestern Air.[4] The Fort McMurray Airport Authority was established in 2010 to manage the airport and ensure its efficient operation. Since then, the airport has undergone various developments and expansions to accommodate the increasing passenger traffic and improve facilities.
The airport has a rich history dating back to its early years. During World War II, the airport served as an air base for the Royal Canadian Air Force. After the war, it underwent further improvements to support civilian air travel. In 2010, the Fort McMurray Airport Authority was created, taking over the management of the airport from the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo.
The airport features two terminals: the main terminal and the original terminal. The main terminal serves as the primary hub for domestic and international flights, offering various services and amenities to passengers. The original terminal, now repurposed, houses some aviation-related businesses and facilities.
Fort McMurray International Airport provides a range of services and amenities to enhance the passenger experience. These include retail shops, food and beverage outlets, car rental services, and free Wi-Fi access throughout the terminal.
The airport's food and beverage program has received recognition for its quality and variety of offerings, providing passengers with a diverse selection of dining options during their travel.
The passenger traffic is reflective of the boom and bust cycle of the oil prices.
