Calgary, and Calgary Airport, are located in the Alberta region of Canada, alongside British Columbia to the west and Saskatchewan to the east. Calgary is considered as north of Lethbridge, and the American cities of Missoula, Helena and Great Falls, as well as other cities in the Montana area of the United States, and south of Edmonton and Red Deer. West of Calgary are popular holiday resort areas, such as Banff and Castle Mountain, while to the northeast/southeast are the areas of Drumheller, Brooks and Medicine Hat. A little nearer, and north of Calgary Airport is Airdrie, and to the south of the city is Okotoks. To the east are Chestermere and Strathmore. Calgary Airport is located approximately 17km, or 11 miles northeast of downtown Calgary, and is surrounded by the city areas of Huntington Hills, Tuxedo Park, Whitehorn, Falconridge, Taradale and Saddle Ridge. It is also nearby to the Nose Hill Natural Environmental Park.
A number of main roads surround the airport complex, including the Deerfoot Trail NE, which leads to the Queen Elizabeth II Highway, and the Stoney Trail NW and NE. The Barlow Trail NE is to the east of the airport, McKnight Boulevard NE is to the south and the Airport Trail NE is the main road leading to the airport terminal building.

The airport is well signposted from many of the main roads leading in its direction, and the Deerfoot Trail to the north is the main road that runs through the city, past the city centre and past the airport.
