Edmonton International Airport (IATA: YEGICAO: CYEG) is the primary air passenger and air cargo facility in Edmonton, Alberta as well as a major hub facility for Northern Alberta and Northern Canada. The airport is experiencing the fastest rate of growth in passenger traffic of any major airport in the nation., as well as a focus city for Air Canada Jazz.
Edmonton International Airport is located within the Edmonton Capital Region, close to the towns of Devon and Beaumont, the city of Leduc, and adjacent to the Nisku industrial park. It is immediately west of the Queen Elizabeth II Highway, south of Highway 19, and 1.6 kilometres north of Highway 39. Within the immediate radius of the terminal, there are many full service hotels and offsite parking lots complete with terminal shuttle service to offer a full range of services to the travelling public.
The original and south terminals are shaped together in a fashion akin to a flattened chevron ("<").
