NAV Canada, a privately owned corporation headquartered in Canada, was founded in 1996 and operates with approximately 2,910 employees. The company specializes in the airlines and aviation sector, functioning as a private sector, non-share capital corporation that owns and operates Canada's civil air navigation service (ANS).
On April 2, 2026, NAV Canada reported that Canada is experiencing a shortage of an estimated 200 air traffic controllers and stated it is working to build its capacity. The privately run non-profit corporation is responsible for training and employing these specialized workers, who play a critical role in the safety of Canada’s air travel system. Previously, on April 1, PSAC-UCTE members at NAV Canada ratified a tentative agreement reached with the employer last month, concluding 822 days without a contract. This agreement brings wage increases and improvements to working conditions. Earlier, on March 30, NAV Canada announced that weighted charging units in February 2026 were higher on average by 3.4% compared to the same month in 2025.
