Runways There is a plan to build a parallel runway east of the airport (16L-34R).

Runway 16-34 is the longest runway in Canada. This can be attributed to the relatively high elevation (3,556 ft, 1083 m) of the airport and the need to support the largest passenger aircraft types. Aircraft require more distance to take off at higher elevations, because of the reduced Density of air associated with altitude.

Construction There were plans to widen Concourse B/C but those plans have evaporated over 'rising costs.'
