Edmonton International Airport — Edmonton, Canada

Edmonton International Airport operates under the code YEG, sitting south of the city near Leduc and Nisku, a location tied to the 1947 Leduc oil discovery that transformed Alberta's economy. By total land area it ranks among Canada's largest airports, giving it room for extensive cargo operations alongside passenger traffic. YEG became Edmonton's sole major airport after the smaller Edmonton City Centre Airport, once used for downtown-adjacent flights, closed to scheduled commercial service in 2013, consolidating operations at the international facility. The airport serves as a key logistics point for Alberta's energy sector, supporting flights to remote northern communities and oil sands operations in addition to standard domestic and international routes. Carriers including Air Canada and WestJet operate significant schedules from Edmonton, and the airport has continued expanding terminal facilities and cargo capacity to support the growing Edmonton metropolitan region.
