Sustained double-digit passenger growth at Edmonton International Airport (EIA) is driving the need to expand the airport terminal building, parking facilities, and other infrastructure much faster than expected.

Our last phased expansion project, 1998 - 2005 Air Terminal Redevelopment Project, including the parkade, South Terminal and Central Hall, was completed for approximately $280 million, giving EIA a 5.5 million passenger capacity.

To ensure passengers move through the airport as smoothly as possible and to minimize the terminal's physical, environmental and financial impact, Edmonton Airports is adopting "future airport" technologies such as self-serve check-in kiosks and check-in desks useable by any airline."
