PRIVATIZED!
Nav Canada is a privately run, not-for-profit corporation, that owns and operates Canada's civil air navigation system.
The company employs approximately 2,000 air traffic controllers, 800 flight service specialists and 700 technologists. It has been responsible for the safe, orderly and expeditious flow of air traffic in Canadian airspace since November first, 19,96 when the government transferred the A.N.S from Transport Canada to Nav Canada. As part of the transfer, or privatization, Nav Canada paid the government 1.5 billion dollars.
Nav Canada, which operates independently of any government funding, is headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario.
