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).
NAV Canada is modernizing Canada’s 18 million square kilometers of airspace, the world's second-largest overseen by a single provider, which includes diverse operations from busy southern corridors to essential Northern and Arctic routes. On August 14, 2026, the corporation announced it would implement proposed service charge changes, effective September 1, 2026, consistent with a May 22, 2026 notice. These adjustments align revenues with the financial requirements of providing air navigation services, as the not-for-profit entity continues to recover from the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on reducing debt, rebuilding its Rate Stabilization Account, and strengthening long-term financial resilience. Concurrently, NAV Canada is studying the implementation of Digital Aerodrome Air Traffic Services (DAATS) technology at Hamilton’s Mount Hope airport. Previously, on August 10, 2026, the company began testing a new digital aerodrome air traffic control program in Kingston, Ontario, designed to allow remote direction of planes.
