YYC will soon be one of the most expensive airports in the country to fly out of.
It’s thanks to a hike in the Airport Improvement Fee.
The Airport Authority’s Jody Mosley tells the Calgary Sun, a $3 increase is scheduled in the spring which will push the fee to $25 as of March 1st.
Mosley says they don’t receive any funding from government.
She says the increase is needed to help pay for a $3-billion expansion with work starting next year on a project to double the size of the terminal and build a new runway.
The hike means Calgary will join Toronto’s Pearson International and Montreal’s Trudeau Airport as the most expensive in the country.
Ottawa and Vancouver both charge $15 for their airport improvement fees.
