Canada's Controllers Warn Transport Committee Of Safety Risks
The Canadian Air Traffic Control Association (CATCA), the union representing all air traffic controllers in the country, are raising serious public safety concerns at the House of Commons Transport Committee about anticipated air traffic control tower closures and service reductions as a result of an ongoing NAV Canada review. "We understand that NAV Canada has seen a significant decline in revenue due to the pandemic and it needs to find efficiencies, but we can't allow public safety to be compromised," said CATCA President and CEO Doug Best.
