Fort McMurray International Airport guide

Fort McMurray International Airport (ICAO CYMM) serves the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo in northeastern Alberta, the centre of Canada's oil sands region. It sits southeast of the city and is reached by the airport road off Highway 63. The Fort McMurray Airport Authority took over operations from the municipality in 2010.

Traffic is shaped by the oil sands workforce. Alongside scheduled flights, the airport handles a steady flow of charter flights that carry rotational workers to and from camps and mine sites. In 2024 it recorded 353,292 passengers, of which 347,128 were on commercial flights and 6,164 on charters. Scheduled service links the city to Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto.

The main terminal opened on 9 June 2014 and cost about $258 million. It was designed for 1 to 1.5 million passengers a year, roughly five times the size of the building it replaced. The old terminal reopened in October 2014 as the North Terminal and now serves workforce charters, corporate aviation and cargo. The airport has a single asphalt runway, 08/26, measuring 2,287 metres.
