Calgary Airport (Calgary, Canada)
Calgary Airport: The Starting Point to Adventure
Calgary International Airport is one of Canada’s busiest airports and welcomes over 15 million people each year. It first opened in the late 1930s and has grown exponentially since that time, boasting two terminal buildings and four runways. The reason behind its growth and popularity is simple: it serves Calgary, which is one of the biggest and most acclaimed cities Canada has to offer. The age of the airport also never becomes noticeable, as it has undergone a modernisation process which includes stylish interiors and current technology – all of which makes the experience of using the facility much more comfortable. While inbound and outbound flights are the main focus of Calgary Airport, it also places a particular emphasis on customer satisfaction. With a multitude of retailers, dining options and services presented, travellers would be forgiven for mistaking the airport as a high-quality shopping centre!
