Lisbon, Portugal, 13 May 2025 – NAV CANADA, the Canadian Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP), has been awarded Level 2 in the Civil Air Navigation Service Organisation’s (CANSO) GreenATM environmental accreditation programme.
Launched in 2022, the CANSO GreenATM programme provides a structured approach to evaluate an ANSP’s progress in environmental sustainability and operational efficiency. The accreditation consists of five levels, each signifying increasing dedication to ensuring sustainability and environmental responsibility across ANSP infrastructure and airspace operations.
NAV CANADA’s attainment of Level 2 recognises their significant accomplishments in key areas, including:
• Leveraging improvements in surveillance coverage in its vast airspace to deliver improved air traffic services.
• Utilizing advanced performance based navigational approaches to deliver more fuel efficient flight paths for its customers.
• Engaging proactively with communities and undertaking robust analysis on airspace modernization and change proposals.
“NAV CANADA’s Level 2 GreenATM accreditation demonstrates the importance of collaborative action within the air traffic management community to achieve meaningful sustainability outcomes. With an area of 18 million square kilometers of airspace, it is the largest ANSP to participate in our GreenATM programme to date. Their commitment to environmentally sound practices is a clear indication of our industry’s dedication to minimising aviation’s environmental impact, and we are pleased to support their continued advancement,” stated Simon Hocquard, CANSO Director General.
NAV CANADA President and CEO Mark Cooper commented, “We are very happy to have achieved Level 2 in CANSO’s GreenATM programme.
