About Us

 Who We are

SERVING CALGARY AND BANFF FOR 20 YEARS

We’re not new to the game. Banff Airporter® is the original Calgary to Banff airport shuttle. For 20 years, we have been offering frequent and reliable transportation. All of our departures are guaranteed, which means we don’t reduce service when only a few people have booked.

100% LOCALLY OWNED

Don’t choose Banff Airporter® because we’re locally-owned and operated; choose Banff Airporter® because we’re the best! Yes, enjoy the good feeling you get from supporting a local business, but mostly enjoy the level of service and attention to detail that we strive for every day.

Free Luggage Carts

The first thing to remember when flying into Calgary Intl. Airport is that it’s one of the nicest and easiest to navigate airports in the world. Luggage carts are free and help is just around the corner thanks to countless White Hat Volunteers.

Planning Your Departure Time

Plan on having 30 minutes to collect your bags and make it to our desk for domestic arrivals and 45 minutes for international arrivals. For example, if your plane is scheduled to arrive at Calgary Airport between 12:15 and 12:30, we suggest you book your spot on the 13:30 scheduled service from Calgary Airport to Banff. If it’s tighter than this, for example a plane scheduled to arrive at 12:50,we suggest you book the 14:30 and then move on to the 13:30 if you arrive on time/early. This is to avoid booking the 13:30, missing it and then finding the 14:30 is sold out, leaving you having to wait until 15:30.

We track your flight

You’ll notice that when you make your reservation, we ask for your flight information. We use this to track your flight. If you’re unable to make your flight due to delays, we’ll know about it and will book you on the next available shuttle, meaning you have no need to worry while in the air! This service is offered free of charge. Tracking your flight does not mean we’ll change our departure time based on your flight arrival.

Departures from the airport are prompt at the scheduled times listed, however, we will do our very best to accommodate late arrivals. Airport agents track your flight details to make the best arrangements possible.

Banff Airporter® is not responsible for delays caused by weather and road hazards. In the rare event of a missed flight or event due to a vehicle breakdown compensation is limited to the cost of that leg of travel.

Although we love animals and are fierce defenders of their rights, due to allergies and so on, Pets are not permitted with the exception of service animals.

Luggage Allowance: We operate much like the airlines in that the total number of bags permitted is the same. So if you arrived by air, there should be no restrictions other than those experienced with the airline. Please be sure to box all bikes and skis and let us know if you have any oversized items like cellos or stand up basses.

We are not responsible for damage to luggage or personal items during transfer. Lost and found items are up to the individual to arrange pick up and/or delivery back home.
