Fly Edmonton Fast Facts

Every ticket purchase is, in effect, a vote for or against Edmonton’s air service. Book your direct U.S. and international connecting flights through our U.S. hubs to vote for our non-stop air service. Here’s why:

Airlines establish new air service routes based on passenger traffic volume both for the city pair being considered for a new flight (e.g. Edmonton – Minneapolis) as well as the passenger traffic volume that will use the city as a hub to their final destination (e.g. Edmonton – Minneapolis – Beyond). Choosing to connect though another city decreases the number of passengers using Edmonton International Airport, lessening Edmonton’s ability to compete with other cities for new routes.

Edmonton International Airport is connected to a number of airport hubs in the United States with non-stop service, making it easy to connect to any destination. Using these routes instead of connecting within Canada enhances Edmonton’s ability to compete with other cities for new routes.

Passengers travelling to the U.S. or beyond should “Look Before You Book” and plan their trip through one of our non-stop hubs. 

This pro-active approach to traveling is more convenient and less time-consuming (because you can pre-clear customs in Edmonton). It also helps to continually improve Edmonton’s future air service.
