Letter from the Chair Five-Year Outlook Message from the President and CEO Strategic Context The Year in Review Corporate Governance Authority Employees
Letter from the Chair of the Board of Directors, Mike Casey Each and every year, we celebrate new milestones and accomplishments that have been reached at YYC Calgary International Airport, and 2017 was no different. In addition to continued passenger growth, The Calgary Airport Authority marked 25 years of growing and developing YYC as an aviation hub of choice. Our nearly 300 employees had a busy year honouring the organization’s 25-year anniversary by volunteering and generating their own initiatives in order to give back to the community we serve. They worked together to create “25 moments for 25 years of service”, resulting in over 990 volunteer hours. Once again, these dedicated individuals showcased their passion for where they work and live by giving back to our community.
The executive team spent much of the year working with their teams to create a new five-year strategic plan focused on evolving the airport towards a new vision for the future. A “North Star” has been identified to act as an aspirational goal in our journey to becoming a truly customer-centric place of business. This new vision is one that puts our millions of guests at the centre of our business decision-making.
Our record passenger growth was, in part, thanks to the successful opening of our new International Terminal, which celebrated its first full year of operation in late 2017. Given this increased capacity, the airport welcomed new flights and destinations leading to yearover-year increases in passenger volumes. In 2017, U.S.-destined traffic increased over six per cent, while international traffic also saw a significant increase of 8.5 per cent. By the end of the year, we had welcomed nearly 16.3 million passengers.
The coming year promises to be productive as Authority team members take on a number of projects related to delivering on our new plans and commitments. The path we are taking is going to be rewarding and we look forward to sharing it with you as you embark on your own journeys through YYC in 2018 and beyond.
Looking forward, our arms are open to embrace all of the exciting changes that are awaiting us as one of the best connected airports in Canada. Guided by our five-year business plan and North Star, we remain committed to maintaining our mandate of managing YYC in a safe, secure and efficient manner.

Message from the President and CEO, Bob Sartor
The Calgary Airport Authority is evolving and with it comes an exciting next chapter. While some may think of the terminals, the bags, the runways and the planes that fly in and out of an airport, we are also focused on the memorable moments that can be created in every part of the airport journey. We succeeded in building the hub, we enhanced our cargo capabilities, and now the future involves a focus which will lead to a more inspired traveller experience and showcase our region’s unique beauty and charm.
Our North Star We create effortless and memorable airport experiences that reflect Calgary’s legendary hospitality and our region’s natural beauty.
Over the years, YYC has grown substantially. We built a new runway, opened a new terminal and more planes came and went than ever before. Those successes have been dependent on the collective passion of our talented employees and volunteers who helped us deliver on our promises. We continued to see recordbreaking passenger and cargo growth despite a period of economic challenges in the city, and our carefully curated infrastructure has allowed us to continue to welcome more guests from international and U.S. destinations. In 2017, our teams worked together to develop a vision for an airport that builds on our previous success of “growing the hub” and is now focused on elevating experiences. Years of developing our facility has allowed us to send Albertans to places around the globe, and has also given us the opportunity to share the wonder and awe of our province to many international visitors. Our superior cargo facilities have helped Calgary’s businesses flourish and ensure goods from global markets reach the homes of Albertans. And, as we continue to grow, we will work to create the most memorable and enjoyable experiences for the millions of guests that travel through YYC. Our vision statement, or North Star as we call it, will help guide all of our decision making.
4 Millions of Memories
As we set out for our North Star, we aim to understand our customers and will endeavour to meet their diverse needs. Primary security lines continue to be a focus area for us as we are aware of the challenges this brings to creating a positive airport experience. With our customer focus at the forefront, we will continue to work with our valued partners at Transport Canada and the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority to make improvements to this process for our guests. We will also focus on enhancements to our Domestic Terminal. Built in the 1970’s, the facility needs some extra care and attention as we welcome over 11 million domestic travellers using this terminal each year. This means bringing in more retail and service options, along with improving the look and feel of the facility to reflect the city and region we serve.
With a new focus and continued investment into YYC, our teams are looking forward to delivering elevated experiences. From investments in technology, retail, and services, to renewed spaces that exhibit our region’s inspiring and legendary beauty. We hope that the people of Calgary are as excited as we are for what’s on the horizon. As we continue on this journey, the next five years will bring forward a wealth of new experiences to every single one of our passengers. Thank you.
As the entry way to Calgary in each flyer’s journey, we will work with our economic development and tourism partners to ensure the airport provides a lasting impression that makes them want to return to Calgary, whether they are simply passing through or visiting some of the beautiful destinations in and around our city.
