Uploaded June 2025 | Updated September 2026, 3 days ago
From June 15th to 17th, Canada hosted the 2025 G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta.
As the closest major airport to Kananaskis, Calgary International Airport got a number of interesting visitors in the days leading up to the Summit, as well as during the Summit itself.
Despite unclear - and frankly, borderline paranoid - communication from federal agencies regarding whether or not plane spotting would even be allowed during the Summit, I was still able to get plenty of footage of what was easily the most interesting week for plane spotting in Calgary in a very long time.
Please enjoy these 55 minutes of unique military and government aircraft in action at Calgary International Airport!

![BOEING 747SP STILL FLYING IN 2022! Montreal Mirabel Airport Plane Spotting [4K]
Montreal Mirabel International Airport, located north of Montreal, was originally built to replace Dorval Airport as the main airport of Montreal.
Passenger service to Mirabel ultimately didnt stick around for a variety of reasons, but the airport now serves as a busy cargo hub for Montreal, as well as a base for Nolinor Aviation, Pratt & Whitney Canada, and Airbus.
Theres a surprising amount of interesting aircraft to see here, as I found out during this visit for the Pratt & Whitney Canada 747SP back in May!

![Air Canada Partners With... Emirates?
On July 12th, Air Canada announced that they were forming a strategic partnership with Emirates, the flag carrier of the United Arab Emirates.
As part of this agreement, the two carriers “intend to establish a codeshare relationship” later this year, which would allow Air Canada passengers to book connecting flights with Emirates on a single ticket, and vice versa.
This is quite an interesting move for a couple of reasons - lets take a look at it!

![SASKATOON PLANE SPOTTING! John G. Diefenbaker International Airport (YXE) [4K]
Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport is the busiest airport in the province of Saskatchewan, serving nearly 1.5 million passengers in 2019.
Its home to local carrier Rise Air, which was formed just a few years ago by the merger of Transwest Air and West Wind Aviation. It also has a solid amount of traffic from Canadas major carriers, including Air Canada, Flair, and WestJet.
I spent a night here in early May 2022, and managed to capture some of Saskatoons regular action!

![FINAL FLIGHT! Finnair A350-900 Landing and Takeoff at Calgary Airport [4K]
Over the past couple of months, Calgary has been fortunate enough to have Finnairs Airbus A350s here, operating flights for Eurowings Discover.
As the summer season winds down though, their final flight for the season took place last Saturday.
Eurowings Discover will apparently be returning next year, but I doubt well ever see those Finnair A350s again. Glad we had them while we did!
Enjoy this video of their final arrival and departure.
