Calgary International Airport and Three Others Up for Federal Auction
What happened
The business operations of Canada's four busiest airports, including those in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, are currently on the federal auction block. The government of Canada will retain the land and infrastructure, but the companies that operate the facilities are being sold. These operations handled 115 million passengers last year.

Why it matters
