YYC Airport plans $2.4B growth spurt
http://www.calgaryherald.com/Airport...375/story.html


CALGARY - The Calgary Airport Authority will spend $2.4 billion over the next five years to expand its facilities, including a new 22-aircraft gate wing and the launch of the longest runway in Canada.

The ambitious plans of Canada’s fourth-busiest airport will cost passengers in increased airport improvement fees and traffic jams as construction will close down a major route into the facility.

But the benefits in terms of increased access to the world and smoother services in the long run outweigh the shorter-term inconveniences, president Garth Atkinson said Thursday.
