NAV CANADA reports October traffic figures

NAV CANADA today announced its traffic figures for the month of October 2011 as measured in weighted charging units for en-route, terminal and oceanic air navigation services, in comparison to the last fiscal year.

The traffic in October 2011 increased by an average of 0.7 per cent compared to the same month in 2010.

Fiscal 2012 year-to-date traffic was 2.1 per cent higher than in the prior fiscal year. NAV CANADA’s fiscal year runs from September 1 to August 31.

Weighted charging units represent a traffic measure that reflects the number of flights, aircraft size and distance flown in Canadian airspace.
