Flight delays at Canada's busiest airports decreased by 85% this summer, with Vancouver experiencing the most significant drop from 4.42% to 0.64% of flights. NAV Canada, a not-for-profit company providing air traffic control services, reported on September 29 that investments made prior to the busy season paid off, maintaining service improvements through the end of summer. This 85% reduction in flight impacts attributable to the company's staffing or equipment was observed from May through August at Toronto Pearson, Montréal-Trudeau, Calgary, and Vancouver International Airports, concluding the 2026 operational readiness plan, as reported on September 28. Previously, on September 24, NAV Canada's Issuer Credit Rating was affirmed at 'AA'. Analysts anticipate the company's debt burden will remain manageable, averaging below 10x EBIDA through fiscal 2028, supported by its strong rate-setting ability despite expected increases in debt issuance for strategic initiatives. Earlier, on September 22, the company reported that weighted charging units, which represent a traffic measure and the basis for most of its air traffic revenue, were 4.9% higher in August 2026 compared to August 2025.
