We are part of the Royal Air Force's air transport
organization and our main tasks are associated with airlift management
and transport aircraft despatch. We are a Detachment of Headquarters
No 2 Group, which is part of Headquarters Strike Command.
Welcome
to the web site of the Royal Air Force Detachment, based at Calgary International
Airport in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We are responsible for the management
of Royal Air Force aircraft that transit Western Canada. We arrange
facilities required for any RAF aircraft, its passengers, flight crew,
or cargo. Our geographic area of responsibility stretches from the Manitoba/Ontario
border in the east to the Pacific Coast in the west. In fact, our area
remains one of the busiest parts of the world for RAF aircraft. RAF
transport aircraft deliver soldiers to both Calgary and Edmonton, RAF airmen
to CFB Cold Lake and many types of RAF aircraft pass through en route to the USA.
We have offices at both Calgary and Edmonton
International Airports, as well as Check-in Desks and the usual 'airline
facilities' and all our transport aircraft are expertly handled by 'Globe Ground
North America. We can answer any questions that you may have about travelling
with the Royal Air Force or if you are thinking of coming to Western Canada
for a holiday. Hopefully, the links below will answer most of your
questions, but please feel free to contact us.
