Fort McMurray is at the heart of the vast Alberta Oil Sands discovery project in Northern Alberta.  As a result, the area is experiencing a population explosion as well as an unprecedented travel demand.  Fort McMurray's airport is undergoing an expansion of both its passenger handling facilities as well as runways to accommodate the predicted long term growth of the area.  WestJet Airlines provides direct and non stop flights to Fort McMurray from Edmonton and Calgary with convenient connections from all major airports throughout Canada.  If you are planning on booking flights to the area in the near future, you are advised to book you travel arrangements well in advance, but be cautioned that hotel reservations are very difficult to book on short term notice.  Many visitors to the area find that they need to book hotel rooms in Edmonton and then commute to Fort McMurray on a daily basis, using WestJet Airlines.
