Edmonton International Airport

The Edmonton International Airport has only recently service from traditional public transit providers. Currently, it is served by ETS route 747 as well as Leduc Transit routes #3 and #10.
To this day transportation service between the Airport and Edmonton is also offered by Sky Shuttle, which is a part of Greater Edmonton Taxi Group (best known for including the Yellow Cab taxi line), which ultimately stretches back to when Yellow Cab operated a bus fleet to the airport, and later on Laidlaw.

Additionally, the International Airport now provides their own free service within the Airport lands which is simply known as On-Airport Transit. This service has 2 scheduled routes and utilizes Arboc low floor cutaway buses.

Finally, there are all of the car park companies which operated bus fleets. Most of these are not that interesting except for Jet Set which operates a fleet of El Dorado EZ Rider II's with BRT styling. While not a transit service, the fact they use a style of bus that typically is used in transit service gets them included here.
