Calgary International Airport hits record year for passengers
13.6 million in 2012 or 37,000 per day
CALGARY — For the first time in its history, the Calgary Airport Authority is reporting annual revenue exceeding $300 million in 2012 as a record was also set for the most passengers ever through the facility.
The Calgary International Airport saw 13.6 million passengers last year or 37,000 a day, the authority announced Thursday at its annual general meeting.
That was up from 12.8 million in 2011.
Revenue for the authority for 2012 was $308 million, increasing from $290 million in 2011.

The new international terminal is scheduled to be completed by late 2015 and will double the size of the current terminal, adding two million square feet on five levels, with 22 aircraft gates and a 300-room hotel.
Atkinson said the shell of the new hotel is finished and the authority is “close” to announcing a partner in the project.
He said more than $800 million will be invested in the airport this year — the single-largest capital investment for any year in its history.
Randy Williams, president and chief executive of Tourism Calgary, said the airport is currently at capacity.
“The airport development is a game-changer for us,” he said. “It will open up doors to so much more access over the years.”
Atkinson also said
the airport will be renumbering its runways this year because of a shift in the Earth’s magnetic field.
