Edmonton Airports, officially the Edmonton Regional Airports Authority, was formed in 1990, under the Regional Airports Authorities Act passed by the

non-profit organisation and, as per the act, has no shareholders and does not pay dividends.[2]

The authority is governed by a 15-member board of directors appointed to represent the various municipalities and the Government of Canada (2 members).[1] These municipalities include the cities of Edmonton (six members), Leduc (one member), Leduc County (one member), Parkland County (one member), Strathcona County (one member) and Sturgeon County (one member).[3] The board also appoints two members at-large.[3]
