Edmonton International is the major airport of the Edmonton Metropolitan Region and a significant cold-weather and cargo gateway for Western Canada. The field is at 2,373 ft elevation with two intersecting runways. Air Canada operates daily mainline and Express service to YYZ, YYC, YVR, and other Canadian and U.S. destinations, sharing the field with WestJet, Flair, and overnight freighter operators. Density-altitude swings between summer and winter are dramatic, and the field sees regular ice-fog and severe cold-snap operations from December through February.

## Common Procedures
* **Runway selection**: 02/20 is the primary runway in most wind conditions. 12/30 is selected when wind direction favours it or when 02/20 is closed.
* **No parallel operations**: Two intersecting runways mean sequential departure and arrival flow. The field is rarely capacity-constrained at typical traffic levels.
* **Cargo operations**: Overnight freighters from Morningstar, Cargojet, and others share the field. Expect heavy taxiway use between 0300 and 0600 local. Plan ground time accordingly when arriving in the early morning.
* **Density altitude**: At more than 2,300 ft and summer temperatures occasionally above 30°C, expect reduced takeoff performance. Cross-check SimBrief performance numbers and verify your assumed temperature is realistic.
* **Cold-weather ops**: Edmonton routinely sees temperatures below minus 30°C in deep winter. Engine-start procedures, hydraulic warm-up, and fuel-system considerations all come into play. Read the type-specific cold-weather notes in the [Winter & Adverse Weather Operations](/aops/standard-procedures/winter-operations) section.
## Hot Spots and Local Hazards
* **Runway intersection**: The 02/20 and 12/30 runways cross near midfield. Hold-short crossings are issued frequently. Read every clearance carefully and never assume blanket runway-crossing authority.
* **Ice fog**: When temperatures drop below minus 20°C, exhaust from running aircraft can produce localized ice fog that reduces visibility on the apron and runways. Tower will often increase spacing in these conditions.
* **Bird and deer activity**: Surrounding farmland brings significant wildlife near the field, particularly at dawn and dusk.
* **Long taxi from north remote stands**: Cargo and remote stands on the north side of the field can require 8 to 12 minutes of taxi to reach 02 or 12. Plan block-fuel and taxi-out time accordingly.
* **Snow and contaminated surfaces**: Plan for runway-state reports (RWYCC) during winter. Type IV holdover times can shorten quickly under freezing precipitation or active snow.
