The authority is governed by a 15-member board of directors appointed to represent the various municipalities and the Government of Canada (2 members).[1] These municipalities include the cities of Edmonton (six members), Leduc (one member), Leduc County (one member), Parkland County (one member), Strathcona County (one member) and Sturgeon County (one member).[3] The board also appoints two members at-large.[3]

Operations

Edmonton Airports operates the Edmonton International Airport (EIA) and the Edmonton/Villeneuve Airport.[4] The EIA is owned by Transport Canada, leased by Edmonton Airports, and part of the National Airports System.[5] It includes a planned inland port logistics support facility in support of the Port Alberta initiative.[6] The Villeneuve Airport is owned by Edmonton Airports.[7]

gollark: You have many and the renewal cost must be nontrivial.
