A Wave of New Destinations!

Get ready to pack your bags! Calgary International Airport (YYC) is set to launch eight new direct flights to thrilling destinations across the U.S., Mexico, and Germany this May and June. Destinations include Mexico City, Raleigh, and Anchorage, promising travelers more options than ever to explore.

Gearing Up for 100 Direct Routes!

This expansion marks a significant milestone, bringing the total number of non-stop flights available at YYC to an impressive 100. As part of this growth, American Airlines will begin weekly non-stop flights to LaGuardia Airport on June 7, making it a key moment for Calgary travelers.

Embracing Global Connectivity

Calgary Airport Authority's Chief Commercial Officer, Balzs Bogáts, emphasizes the strategic effort behind these new routes. The authority actively pitches to airlines, conducting thorough research to ensure that these new services align with traveler demand. Bogáts notes, "We are one of the best-connected midsize airports in North America thanks to our partners."

Why Now?

With the recent addition of direct flights to Munich and the upcoming routes scheduled to kick off in 2024—including exciting Asian and Icelandic destinations—YYC is striving for seamless global connectivity. The potential for additional routes to regions like Asia and Australia is on the horizon.

Countless Opportunities Ahead!

By the end of 2025, YYC will feature over 100 direct flights. Beyond that, Bogáts is keen on filling the gaps in current services, particularly towards Asia: "There is significant potential there, and in five to eight years, routes to India or China could become a reality." Whether you're planning a business trip or a vacation, Calgary International Airport is poised to make your travel dreams more accessible than ever!
