Letter from the Board Chair
— As we reflect on 2024, it’s clear this has been a year of growth, connection and impact for The Calgary Airport Authority.
Building upon the momentum of 2023, we reached remarkable milestones. We broke records, expanded connectivity and strengthened our role as a key economic and community hub in Western Canada. Our airports—YYC Calgary International Airport and YBW Springbank—are vital contributors to the trade, tourism and business that fuel Alberta’s economy and create lasting benefits for our communities. At the heart of these achievements is our unwavering commitment to the communities we serve. In 2024, this commitment took on new meaning as we navigated challenges together. The hailstorm in August was a stark reminder of the resilience of our airport community. From ensuring safety to restoring operations, our teams demonstrated remarkable strength and determination in the face of adversity.
Leadership is central to our success, and this year we welcomed talented new team members. I’d like to extend a warm welcome to Rodney D. Gray, Nancy Foster and Catherine Luelo, who joined our Board of Directors in 2024. Their diverse expertise and insights will be invaluable as we guide The Authority through its next chapter. Additionally, I want to express my gratitude to our outgoing board members, David C. Blom, Donald Cormack and Sheldon Schroeder, for their many years of service and their contribution to our collective success.
The Calgary Airport Authority remains steadfast in its mission to connect people, drive economic growth and enrich our community. It’s a privilege to serve as Chair of the Board, and I look forward to the exciting journey ahead.
Thank you,
Andrea Robertson
