Edmonton International Airport is the fastest growing large airport in Canada-with new parkades, services, terminals, planes, hotels, and shops popping up. It has two terminals, with a central hall that is the security point for all domestic and international traffic (excluding travel to the US, which uses the South Terminal). There is no public transportation between the airport and the city. An airport shuttle travels between the airport and downtown at an affordable cost ($15 one way; $25 return).
