Construction at YLW

YLW is expanding the airport to better meet the needs of our growing region. Our multi-year expansion plans include our largest terminal expansion to date, fully serviced lots for light industrial and commercial business, new parking options, safety and sustainability upgrades, and much more.

Between 2024 and 2033, YLW will invest over $422 million in upgrades to airport infrastructure. This is funded through airport revenues and Airport Improvement Fees and is not funded by tax dollars.

Construction Updates

Closure of Long-Term Parking Lot B

As we prepare for construction of the new hotel and parkade, we are reconfiguring our long-term parking lots and moving all long-term parking to Long-Term Lot A.

We will make every effort not to move vehicles currently parked in Long-Term Lot B unless required for construction purposes. If any vehicles need to be relocated, they will remain in Long-Term Lot B and be moved to the closest possible spot. 

Departures Lounge

Tim Hortons in the departures lounge is currently closed to allow for the next phase of the ATB Expansion construction. Passengers departing YLW can enjoy Bright Jenny coffee at the departures lounge gift shop.

Air Terminal Building (ATB) Expansion

Passengers will see changes to parking in long-term lot A, restricted access into the terminal building from the south end of the building (departures), and demolition work in the security screening area. Throughout this three-year construction project, there will be additional temporary impacts to existing amenities in the departures lounge. Guests to YLW should expect minor changes to how they move through the terminal building and may experience some construction noise. Passengers are asked to follow new wayfinding signage.
