About Edmonton International Airport
Overview
Edmonton International Airport serves as the primary commercial and cargo airport for the Edmonton metropolitan area and northern Alberta. Located at 53.309700, -113.580002, the airport sits at an elevation of 2,373 feet above mean sea level, making it a significant transportation hub in western Canada. As a large airport, it supports extensive commercial passenger and freight operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 2,373 ft MSL and prairie location create varied seasonal weather conditions that pilots must anticipate. Winter months can present significant challenges with potential low visibility, snow, and crosswind conditions. Summer typically offers more stable flying conditions, though thunderstorm activity can be prevalent in the region.
Notable Features
Edmonton International Airport features two substantial asphalt runways: Runway 02/20 measuring 11,000 feet and Runway 12/30 measuring 10,200 feet. The long runway lengths provide excellent operational flexibility for various aircraft types, including large commercial and cargo aircraft. The airport's geographical position allows for relatively unobstructed approaches with minimal terrain complications.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should be prepared for potential wind variations given the airport's open prairie environment. The two perpendicular runways (02/20 and 12/30) offer strategic wind coverage, allowing operations in multiple wind conditions. Approach planning should consider the airport's elevation and potential crosswind components, particularly during seasonal transition periods.
