## Description

A bonded warehouse with direct tarmac access, a dedicated cargo screening facility and the adjacent Calgary Logistics Park define the freight infrastructure at Calgary International Airport (YYC). As Alberta's largest airport, it links the Pacific coast with the Canadian Prairies and channels imports and exports for a region built on energy and agriculture. Passenger traffic ranks among Canada's top four, yet for forwarders the cargo side carries more weight. Annual freight throughput sits in the 100,000 to 200,000 tonne range. Cargolux operates a weekly Boeing 747-8F rotation via Luxembourg and Seattle, while EFC Aviation, Swissport and Menzies Aviation handle ground operations. YYC Freight Services runs the bonded customs facility offering warehousing, CFS and screening. Oversized energy equipment is a recurring shipment type out of Calgary. The Trans-Canada Highway and the CN intermodal terminal next door tie air freight into road and rail within a single corridor.
