History

Until the mid- 1950s, the smaller Edmonton City Centre Airport was the main airport for the region. Once it became clear that on the short runway probably be able to land any modern jet aircraft were acquired by the Transport Canada about 2800 ha of land outside the city to build a larger airport.

This was finally opened in 1960. The first terminal consisted only of an old hangar, which was previously used by other companies. In 1963, the North Terminal was completed, which is used to this day. Due to population growth in the region and the number of passengers grew up in the 1970s, peaking in 1980 over 2 million. Furthermore, but almost only short-haul flights to Alberta and British Columbia were offered and so deteriorated from the early 1980s, the utilization of the airport. However, since 1995 the number of passengers increases again.
