NAV CANADA, a privately owned Canadian corporation founded in 1996, provides air navigation services (ANS) across the country. Employing approximately 2,910 people, it operates as a non-share capital entity and is responsible for the ownership and operation of Canada's civil air navigation infrastructure. Its primary clients are airlines and other aviation-related businesses.
On September 15, 2025, NAV CANADA launched the Land Use Web Submission Portal (LUWSP), a digital platform streamlining land use request submissions near airports and air navigation infrastructure. The LUWSP replaces traditional paper forms and email submissions, offering a centralized, user-friendly online system to reduce manual processes, accelerate turnaround times, and improve accuracy and consistency. This new system aims to minimize potential hazards to airports and the wider air navigation system. Additionally, construction began on the Kingston Digital Facility (KDF), Canada's first digital air traffic site, expected to be completed by summer 2026, representing a key step toward future digital hubs.
