Calgary International Airport (YYC) is WestJet’s home hub, sitting about 11 miles northeast of downtown Calgary.

A Modern International Terminal

An Easy 18-Minute Drive Downtown

A Base for the Rockies

YYC is also the main airport for reaching Banff and the Canadian Rockies, so many visitors pick up a rental car here rather than staying in Calgary alone.
