Mandatory masks in Calgary & Edmonton airport

As part of the continued response to COVID-19, airports are introducing the mandatory requirement for all staff and passengers to wear a mask/face covering while in any public area of the Domestic or International Terminal facilities. This new requirement is in addition to to wear masks at screening checkpoints and during flight when they cannot maintain a physically distance  of 2 metres (6 ft.) in all directions from others.

• Edmonton Airport (YEG) is effective June 19, 2020

You are encouraged to bring your own mask or face covering if you have one. Suncor will supply charter passengers with one (1) mask per passenger and a paper bag to store the mask for re-use at every fly-in/fly-out (FIFO) hub. These will be distributed in the temperature screening areas in Calgary, Edmonton, and Saskatoon, and at check-in at the Firebag Aerodrome. If you are flying from another location to a Suncor hub, please ensure you have a mask or face covering for your flight(s) to the Suncor hub.

Non-medical masks/ face coverings must be worn in any public area of the airport and while on the aircraft. Masks must be worn while enplaning and deplaning. Masks must only be removed during boarding so that gate agents can confirm passenger features with government-issued picture identification.

Non-medical face masks or face coverings should:

• be made of at least two layers of tightly woven material fabric (such as cotton or linen)

• be large enough to completely and comfortably cover the nose and mouth without gaping

• fit securely to the head with ties or ear loops

• allow for easy breathing

• be comfortable and not require frequent adjustment

• be changed as soon as possible if damp or dirty

• maintain their shape after washing and drying

Passengers who do not have masks/face coverings or who refuse to use those provided, will be denied boarding to both commercial and charter flights.

Thank you and travel safe,
