Getting to Calgary International Airport will cost travellers a little bit more in the new year.

Effective Jan. 15, 2024, the Calgary Airport Authority will introduce a $4 drop-off fee for all taxis arriving at the airport. The airport authority announced it will also reduce pick-up fees to $4.50 from $5.

The airport authority said it brings taxi fees in-line with rideshare fees, creating a “level playing field” for the two types of ride-for-hire companies.
