Parking directly in front of the arrivals area of the terminal building is available as a Special Event pick-up zone. Special Event parking privileges will only be granted with prior arrangements made through the Saskatoon Airport Authority. The special events zone is specifically for public or community events. All vehicles in this zone are required to have event identification on the dash or the side of the vehicle. To make arrangements, contact the Saskatoon Airport Authority at 975-4374.
The Saskatoon Airport Authority does not provide guided airport tours; however, the terminal building is open to the public for self-guided tours. The public is free to observe planes from the airside viewing area in the food court and from the viewing gallery on the second floor featuring a display with highlights of 75 years of Aviation History. The Arts and Cultural Display, Attractions Display, Saskatchewan Aviation Council Wall of Fame Display and Community Based Interpretive Centres also offer interesting stops during your visit.
The Saskatoon Airport Authority is committed to making the Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport a venue that showcases the community of Saskatoon and Saskatchewan. Since the Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport is the first and last place that visitor's see when they arrive and depart from our city, it is important that the community leave a memorable impression.
It is envisioned that this impression will capture the theme of our community "Saskatoon Shines", our successes (industry, education, and innovation), historical background and people of Saskatoon and Saskatchewan. We are pursuing opportunities to "tell the story of the Community" while also enhancing the Airport Experience.
The Community Showcase program concepts include three basic focus categories, permanent initiatives, rotational displays and video opportunities. New initiatives are not limited to this approach, as the program is adaptive to other concepts. The entire Airport complex, including the Air Terminal Building and surrounding lands offer a variety of display mechanisms, intended to be representative of and "showcase" our community.
For more information on how to "Tell your story" please contact the Saskatoon Airport Authority at 975-4952.
