CALGARY - The Calgary Airport Authority is providing the following update regarding impacts to YYC Calgary International Airport caused by an intense rain and hailstorm on Monday, Aug. 5, 2024.
YYC experienced significant water damage to part of its terminal and, as a result, took quick action last night to close the B gates in the Domestic Terminal Building. All guests and employees were safely cleared from that area and directed to safe locations.
The airport remains open and operational.
While it is not yet known when the B gates will reopen, YYC can support our airline partners’ full commercial schedule as it recovers. Guests are encouraged to check with their airline for flight updates.
We recognize this storm and the resulting damage and experience could have been troubling and even scary. This event has had a major impact on operations, and also people. Please know we are taking every action possible to ensure their safety and comfort. We thank our guests for their patience and cooperation as we work to recover from the storm.
