Calgary airport prepares for passenger surge with major summer events
The Calgary International Airport is preparing for a busy summer season, with several major events set to bring thousands of extra tourists to the city.
The Calgary Airport Authority will release its summer scheduling and anticipated passenger numbers Tuesday morning.
It experienced record numbers last year, with an estimated 64,000 passengers passing through the airport daily in July and August.
Between Stampede, the 2025 Rotary Convention and the G7 Leaders' Summit happening this summer, officials are preparing for an even busier travel season.
Preparations have already started at the airport in advance of the G7 summit, which will take place from June 15 to 17.
The authority says travellers can expect some road closures in and around the perimeter of the airport during that event.
Passengers will also notice increased security presence at curbside for pickups and drop-offs.

In early June, Cenovus was forced to evacuate most company employees from its Christina Lake oilsands operations, south of Fort McMurray, Alta. because of the nearby Caribou Lake wildfire.

Net income fell to $851 million, or 45 cents Canadian per share in the three months that ended on June 30, 2025.

Trump says Carney reached out, but they haven't talked, hours before Canada-U.S. tariff deadline

Kennedy Jr. watch, Thursday, July 31, 2025, in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Prime Minister Mark Carney reached out ahead of an Aug. 1 tariff deadline, but no conversations between the two took place. Trump has warned that any country that does not strike a deal with the U.S. before Friday will be subjected to higher tariffs imposed on goods, which for Canada could mean a 35 per cent rate on all products not covered by the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. 'We haven't spoken to Canada today. He's (Carney) called and we'll, we'll see,' Trump told reporters during an event at the White House. Carney's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Canadian leader previously said trade talks with Washington had been constructive, but the talks may not conclude by the deadline. Talks between the two countries were at an intense phase, he added, but a deal that would remove all U.S. tariffs was unlikely. Earlier on Thursday, Trump said it would be 'very hard' for the U.S. and Canada to strike a deal after Ottawa moved toward recognizing Palestinian statehood. He said later on Thursday, however, that he did not view the move as 'a deal breaker' in trade talks. 'Well, they have to pay a fair rate - that's all. It's very simple. They have been charging very, very high tariffs to our farmers, some over 200 per cent and they've been treating our farmers very badly,' Trump said when asked about negotiations. He added that while he loves Canada, it has treated the United States 'very badly' for years. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Canada could avoid the 35 per cent tariff rate if Carney 'starts turning on the charm and if he takes off his retaliation.'
