"Working with customers and other industry partners, we have made real progress in reducing the environmental impact of aviation through more efficient air navigation services, and there's more to come in the future."

The fourth edition of the report describes the progress of the existing collaborative initiatives between NAV CANADA and its airline customers. It also highlights new and upcoming initiatives such as the expansion of satellite-based Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) surveillance via Aireon, the Company's joint venture with Iridium Communications.
