ICAO airport code

The ICAO airport code is a four-letter alphanumeric code designating each airport around the world. These codes are defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization. The ICAO codes are used by air traffic control and airline operations such as flight planning. They are not the same as the IATA codes encountered by the general public, which are used for airline timetables, reservations, and baggage handling. ICAO codes are also used to identify weather stations, whether or not they are located at airports. Unlike the IATA codes, the ICAO codes have a regional structure. In general, the first letter is allocated by continent and represents a country or group of countries within that continent. The second letter generally represents a country within that region, and the remaining two are used to identify each airport. The exception to this rule are larger countries that have single-letter country codes, where the remaining three letters identify the airport. In the United States and Canada, most airports which have been assigned three-letter IATA codes use the same code with leading "K" or "C" as their ICAO code (or P, in the case of Alaska and Hawaii); e.g., YYC (Calgary International Airport, Calgary, Alberta) and CYYC, IAD (Dulles International Airport, Chantilly, Virginia) and KIAD. These codes are not to be confused with radio call signs, even though both countries use four-letter callsigns starting with those letters. A list of airports, sorted by IATA code, is available.

IATA airport code

An IATA airport code, known by the IATA as an IATA location identifier or, simply, a location identifier [http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/coding1], is a three-letter alphabetic code designating many airports around the world. These codes are defined by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The IATA airport codes are published tri-annually in the IATA Airline Coding Directory. The assignment of these codes is governed by IATA Resolution 767, and it is administered by IATA headquarters in Montreal. IATA also provides codes for railway stations and for airport handling entities. The codes are not unique: 323 of these possible 17,576 codes are used by more than one airport. A list of airports sorted by IATA code is available. The characters prominently displayed on baggage tags attached at airport check-in desks are an example of a way these codes are used. While the IATA codes are the most familiar airport codes to airline passengers, the 4-letter ICAO airport codes are becoming increasingly common within aviation. All international flights are flight-planned and tracked using ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) designators, and most GPS databases use ICAO codes to avoid conflicts with three-letter navigation-aid codes. Many countries, such as Canada, no longer use IATA codes in their official aeronautical publications. Also, a list of rail stations codeshared in agreements between airlines and rail lines such as Amtrak, SNCF French Rail, Deutsche Bahn, Thalys International, and Swiss Rail is available. There is also a separate List of Amtrak station codes which are a set of three-character location codes used by Amtrak for its rail stations in the United States and Canada.

Nautical miles

A nautical mile is a unit of length. It is not an SI unit. It is accepted (although discouraged) for use with the SI. The nautical mile is used around the world for maritime and aviation purposes. It is commonly used in international law and treaties, especially regarding the limits of territorial waters. It developed from the geographical mile.

Definition

The international standard definition is: 1 nautical mile = 1852 metres (exactly).

Unit symbol

There is no official international standard symbol for the unit nautical mile. The symbols NM, nm and nmi are commonly used in some areas (not to be confused with nm, the official symbol for nanometer). The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) in its International System of Units brochure lists the nautical mile in the table of units "currently accepted" for use with SI without using a symbol, saying in a [http://www1.bipm.org/en/si/si_brochure/chapter4/table8.html footnote]: "As yet there is no internationally agreed symbol." Although nm is the official symbol for nanometre, there is little confusion because it is used in very different contexts, and differs by twelve orders of magnitude (one nautical mile = 1852 billion nanometres). For example, listings of aircraft flight ranges will have nm next to km (kilometres). There are several national unit symbols in use, for example mpk (meripeninkulma, "sea league") in Finnish and sm (Seemeile, "sea mile") in German.

Conversions to other units

1 nautical mile of 1852 metres converts to:
- 1.150 779 45 statute miles
- 6 076.115 49 feet

History

The nautical mile was historically defined as a minute of arc along a great circle of the Earth. It can therefore be used for approximate measures on a meridian as change of latitude on a nautical chart. However, like all planets, the earth is not a perfect sphere. It bulges at the equator like a spinning top, so the length of one minute of arc on the Earth's surface varies from 1862 m at the poles to 1843 m at the Equator. The Earth's surface also has bumps and hollows like a potato. Thus, there is no fixed relationship between angle and arc length along the Earth's surface; one minute of arc can vary in length by tens of metres. The British definition related to the length on the surface of the Earth just south of Britain. It was 6080 feet (1853.184 metres). The Royal Hydrographic Office of the United Kingdom converted to the international definition in 1970. In the United States the nautical mile was defined as 6080.2 ft (1853.249 m). It adopted the international definition in 1954. The precise definition of feet varied around the world. That was resolved in 1959 when a single definition of the international yard was agreed upon. Other nations had different definitions. International agreement was achieved in 1929, when the International Extraordinary Hydrographic Conference, Monaco adopted a definition of 1 international nautical mile = 1,852 metres, roughly the average length of one minute of latitude i.e. one minute of arc along a line of longitude (a meridian). In subsequent years, nations converted to use of the international definition.

Associated units

The derived unit of speed is the knot, defined as one nautical mile per hour. The term "knot" derived from the practice of using a knotted rope as a method of gauging speed of a ship. The rope would be thrown into the water and the rope trailed behind the ship. The number of knots that passed off the ship and into the water in a given time would determine the speed in "knots". The term stuck since "knot" is so close to "naut" in "nautical". Again, for maritime navigation, nautical miles are sometimes divided into 10 cables, although other precise definitions of a cable have also been used.

Fort McMurray, Alberta

Fort McMurray is a hamlet in the northeastern part of Canada's western province of Alberta, in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, Alberta. Although it is commonly referred to and thought of as being a city, Fort McMurray is no longer incorporated. Thus, Fort McMurray has the status of being the largest unincorporated "city" in Alberta. Wood Buffalo, Alberta

Location

Fort McMurray is located at , 370 m above sea level. It is 435 km northeast of Edmonton on Highway 63, about 60 km west of the Saskatchewan border, nestled in the boreal forest at the confluence of the Athabasca River and the Clearwater River. Fort McMurray is the largest community in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo

Population

The population of Wood Buffalo (2005 census) is 73,176, with the majority of that located within the immediate area of Fort McMurray, which used to have city status until it was incorporated into Wood Buffalo a few years ago. Because Fort McMurray no longer has a municipal government of its own, it is technically a hamlet, even though its population is now estimated to be 60,983, according to the 2005 municipal census. Fort McMurray is a multicultural community, attracting people from all corners of Canada and the world. Albertans make up almost half the number of migrants to Fort McMurray followed by 17% of people originating from Newfoundland, Canada [http://www.woodbuffalo.ab.ca/business/demographics/1999%20Census%20Report.pdf].

Climate

The average temperature at Fort McMurray is -19.8°C in January and +16.6°C in July. Its annual rainfall amounts to 334.5 mm, its snowfall is 172.0 cm.

Economics

Fort McMurray is considered the heart of one of Alberta's (and Canada's) major hubs of oil production, located near the Athabasca Oil Sands. Besides the oil sands, which dominate, its industries rely on natural gas and pipeline sectors, forestry and tourism. The two largest oil sand mining companies are Syncrude and Suncor. For further information on the petroleum industry in Alberta, see oilpatch. Housing prices and rents are far higher in Fort McMurray than one would expect in such a remote area with land prices considerably higher than Edmonton, the nearest big city, or Calgary. The municipal government is pressuring the Albertan government to release more Crown land for residential construction. Transportation to and from Fort McMurray is also problematic. Highway 63, the main highway between Fort McMurray and Edmonton, is regularly congested, resulting in lengthened and costly travel times, not to mention issues of safety, accelerated road deterioration and reduction in quality of life to residents. One recent survey revealed that 96 per cent of Fort McMurray residents see traffic on Highway 63 as a significant problem. The aging railway between Fort McMurray and the capital is also in need of improvement, which would allow for the movement of more heavy loads to take place away from the highway, and possibly allow for passenger service as well.

History

Fort Chipewyan is Alberta's oldest settled community. Over 200 years ago, Peter Pond and the voyageurs of the Northwest Trading Company traveled this area in search of furs.

Municipality

In addition to Fort McMurray, The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo consists of ten smaller communities: Anzac, Draper, Fort Chipewyan, Fort Fitzgerald, Fort MacKay, Gregoire Lake Estates, Janvier, Mariana Lakes and Saprae Creek Estates.

Air Canada Jazz

Air Canada Jazz is an airline based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is Canada's largest regional air carrier and is wholly owned by Air Canada. It operates feeder and commuter services for Air Canada. Its main bases are Calgary International Airport, Vancouver International Airport, Toronto Pearson International Airport and Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport.

History

Air Canada Jazz was established in 2001 from the consolidation of the Air Canada connector carriers Air BC, Air Nova, Air Ontario and Canadian Regional Airlines shortly after the successful takeover of Canadian Airlines by Air Canada. It employs 5,444 staff (at January 2005). In February 2005, Air Canada announced that it would shift much of its flying from its own mainline and regional jets to Air Canada Jazz's planes in cities across Canada and the United States. The move was controversial, since it essentially shifted high paying Air Canada jobs to lower wage Jazz positions. The former Air Canada employees will be laid off and need to reapply for their former jobs with Air Canada Jazz. In Prince Edward Island, on April 26 2005, an arbitrator ruled that Air Canada employees could retain their jobs when the transition occurs, but they will face a 17.6% wage cut, bringing their pay in line with the lower Jazz rate. The switch to Jazz service means the elimination of Air Canada jet flights to Charlottetown, Fredericton, Saint John, Moncton, Quebec, Regina, Saskatoon, Thunder Bay, and Whitehorse. However, customers in most markets will likely not see a change in service, since Air Canada and Air Canada Jazz already operate identical Canadair Regional Jet aircraft in most markets. The most significant change will be the loss of Airbus A320 and Airbus A319 flights (mid-size, dual-class passenger jets seating between 120-140 passengers) to Charlottetown, Moncton, Quebec, Regina, Saskatoon, Thunder Bay and Whitehorse. In June 2005, the airline announced a new destination: Hamilton, Ontario, with service from Montreal and Ottawa. In September 2005, Previous plans by ACE Aviation Holdings to spin-off Jazz into an income trust were put on hold indefinitely when Finance Minister Ralph Goodale suspended advance tax rulings on such trusts. [http://biz.yahoo.com/cnw/050930/e_ace_offeringjazzair.html?.v=1] The plans were revived in November when the Department of Finance resumed the rulings and announced that the trusts would not be taxed. [http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20051125.wxrtrustpipe25/BNStory/Business/]

Fleet

The Air Canada Jazz fleet consists of the following aircraft (as of October 2005):
- 15 Bombardier CRJ-705
- 31 Bombardier CRJ 200ER
- 39 Bombardier Dash 8 100
- 23 Bombardier Dash 8 300 Bombardier Aerospace delivered the first of its new regional jet variant, the 75-passenger CRJ 705, to Air Canada Jazz on 27 May 2005. The aircraft was the first of 15 CRJ 705 and 15 CRJ 200 aircraft ordered in September 2004. The new aircraft undertook its first revenue earning flight on 1 June 2005 from Calgary to Houston. The CRJ 705 feature leather seats, business class (a first for Jazz) and a class leading 34" seat pitch in economy. Seat back TV's for all passengers will be added in the fall of 2005.

Edmonton International Airport

Edmonton International Airport is the 5th busiest airport in Canada by passenger traffic, and the 13 busiest by aircraft movements. It is the primary air passenger and air cargo facility in Edmonton, Alberta and a major hub facility for Northern Alberta and Northern Canada. It served 4.1 million passengers in 2004 and is operated by the Edmonton Airports Authority. Originally constructed in 1960, the airport has undergone a CDN$350 million renovation and expansion program from 1996-2004 which included the construction of a new terminal, a multi-level parking facility, central hall, commuter facility and a doubling of the aircraft apron. Future plans include the development of an in-terminal hotel, expansion of the parking facility and renovation of the original terminal. Edmonton International Airport is one of 7 Canadian Airports that has US Border Pre-clearance facilities.

WestJet

WestJet is a Canadian low-cost carrier based in Calgary, Alberta that flies to most major cities in Canada and 12 cities in the United States. WestJet is an rarity in the airline industry due to the fact that it is non-unionized. Profit-Sharing is credited for this fact.

History

Founded in 1996 by Clive Beddoe, Mark Hill, Tim Morgan, and Donald Bell, WestJet tried to follow the same path as Southwest Airlines and Morris Air, as a low-cost carrier. Originally meant to be a western Canada operation, WestJet soon became one of the fastest growing airlines in the world. On February 29, 1996 the first WestJet flight (a Boeing 737) departed. At that time, the airline served Calgary (the airline's hub), Edmonton, Kelowna, Vancouver, and Winnipeg with a fleet of three Boeing 737-200 aircraft and two-hunded and twenty employees. By the end of that same year, they had included Regina, Saskatoon, and Victoria. In 1997 service to Abbotsford was added. In 1999, a milestone was reached when WestJet was able to offer its first public sharing at 2.5 million shares. Also in 1999, the cities of Thunder Bay, Grande Prairie, and Prince George were added to WestJet's route map. In 2000, the airline expanded to Canada's eastern region, reaching Hamilton, Moncton, and Ottawa, and choosing Hamilton as the airline's eastern region hub. That year, Beddoe, Hill, Morgan and Bell were given the Ernst & Young entrepreneur of the year award in Canada for their contribution to the Canadian airline industry. In 2001, expansion continued, to include Fort McMurray and Comox, and to the subsequently pulled cities of Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury, Thompson and Brandon. The airline's four creators also received another entrepreneurship award. In 2002, the airline added two new eastern Canadian destinations; the cities of London and Toronto. In April 2003, WestJet added Windsor, Montreal, Halifax, St. John's, and Gander. Gander In April, 2004, WestJet moved its eastern hub from Hamilton to Toronto. All of the flights between Ottawa and Hamilton and Montreal and Hamilton were moved to Toronto, a move that brought WestJet more fully in to the lucrative Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal triangle. In 2004, a number of U.S. destinations were added or announced. These included San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, New York (LaGuardia). Palm Springs was added in early 2005, as was San Diego, while New York-LaGuardia was dropped. In Fall 2005, Ft. Myers, Las Vegas will be added to the growing list of destinations. WestJet's transborder flights fly non-stop from Calgary (WestJet's main hub), as well as Edmonton, Kelowna, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and Winnipeg. In April 2005, they announced new service seasonal to Charlottetown. Also in April 2005, WestJet ceased service to Gander. In June 2005, the airline announced it was ceasing service to Windsor, Ontario, effective October 30, 2005, and shifting capacity to nearby London. After rumours and speculation surrounding the implementation of extended-range twin-engine operations (ETOPS), WestJet announced new service to the Hawaiian Islands from Vancouver on September 20, 2005. Effective December 2005, the airline will fly from Vancouver to Honolulu and Vancouver to Maui. All flights returning from the Hawaiian Islands will be overnight flights (red-eyes) allowing the carrier to maintain a high utilization of the fleet. In late 2002 the Airline was accused by rival Air Canada of [http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20051209.wxraircan09/BNStory/Business/ espionage] for their role in accessing confidential information.

Current status

During a second quarter conference call in 2004, Clive Beddoe, announced that Westjet would be expanding to serve the United States. On September 20, 2004 Westjet commenced the first phase of its transborder flights by flying from Calgary and Toronto to Los Angeles International Airport as well as Toronto to New York LaGuardia. However, WestJet ended service to New York (LaGuardia) on July 4, 2005, citing an inability to secure gates at the airport. Soon after, the airline announced new service from Calgary to Fort Lauderdale; Edmonton to Las Vegas; Kelowna to Las Vegas; Toronto to Fort Myers and Phoenix; Montreal to Fort Lauderdale; Winnipeg to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Phoenix; and Vancouver to Las Vegas, Palm Springs, and Phoenix. WestJet Airlines entered into a two-year agreement with Air Transat in August, 2003, whereby Westjet Next Generation Boeing aircraft would be filled by Transat's two main tour operators, World of Vacations and Air Transat Holidays. The planes are operated by WestJet crews. Some of the destinations that WestJet planes can be found at are the Dominican Republic, Puerto Vallarta, Panama City (Panama), Cancun, Mazatlan, Varadero, Cuba and St. Martin. There are also weekly charter flights run year-round to Las Vegas, Nevada, from Calgary and Edmonton on behalf of Signature Vacations; this charter agreement is set to expire in the Fall of 2005.

Current fleet

- 6 Boeing 737-200
- 2 Boeing 737-600 (More on order)
- 41 Boeing 737-700
- 5 Boeing 737-800 The airline flies a fleet that consists exclusively of Boeing 737s, taking a cue from the successful single operating type model pioneered by Southwest Airlines. By year end 2005, the operating fleet will consist of 66 aircraft; Fifty of those aircraft are now Next Generation Boeing 737 aircraft. WestJet continues to slowly retire the older 737-200 aircraft while they grow their overall fleet with Next Generation Aircraft consisting of -600, -700, and -800 series models from the 737 class. The first deliveries of 737-600 and 737-800 aircraft are due in 2005. It was announced early in 2005 that the 737-200 fleet would be retired within the year, to be replaced by newer, more fuel-efficient aircraft. This will enable WestJet to further enjoy a lower-cost structure. However, with the abrupt end of operations by discount rival Jetsgo on March 11, 2005, the retirement of the 737-200 fleet will possibly be delayed as WestJet plans to add flights to fill Jetsgo's void. On July 12th, 2005, WestJet announced that it had completed the sale of its remaining Boeing 737-200 to Miami-based Apollo Aviation Group (Apollo). As of March 2006, there will be no more 200 series planes in WestJet's fleet. There will be three to four in operation on any given day throughout the busy Christmas holidays. Less then 10% of WestJet's available seat miles are flown by the 200's.

Apron VII can hold two Boeing 727s but will be able to park an additional three McDonnell-Douglas MD-11s for FedEx in November 2004.

General aviation facilities are located on the south side of the field. These facilities include a Shell Aerocenter, an Esso Avitat, Calgary Flight Training, a customs building, and more.

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 takeoff at higher elevations, because of the reduced air density associated with altitude.

Construction

The Calgary International Airport is currently undergoing major upgrades and construction. The recent widening of Concourse C officially opened in December 2004. The B/C concourse will also be widened within the next year. The regional wing of the airport has also begun its phase of upgrades. During the past couple of months the runways and taxiways have been improved and upgraded. Taxiway Hotel now connects concourse D with the main taxiway Charley which improves the traffic flow for Apron I.

The terminal has three concourses:

Concourse A
