History
The Fort McMurray Airport Authority was established in 2010 to manage the airport and oversee its development. Construction of a new passenger terminal began in 2011 to replace the existing facility, which had become insufficient for the region’s growing traffic driven by oil sands development.
The new terminal officially opened on June 9, 2014. It was designed to handle approximately 1 to 1.5 million passengers annually and significantly expanded the airport’s capacity and services. Following the opening of the main terminal, the original terminal building was renovated and repurposed later in 2014 as the North Terminal, primarily serving charter and cargo operations.
