CANSO Work Programmes

CANSO’s work programmes seek to bring together the global ATM community with the aim of improving the system-wide performance of air navigation services. We look to illuminate best practice, inform members of important case studies, measure performance, set benchmarks and targets, and provide practical tools for ANSP managers. We have selected three key policy areas; Safety, Environment and Business Transformation to lead our ‘Imagine 2010’ project. Imagine 2010 is about putting CANSO at the forefront of the changes and challenges facing ATM in the coming decade. In addition, we tackle many other industry issues, which we address through official CANSO workgroups, regional teams, or ad hoc networks of ATM professionals.

Samantha oversees CANSO’s global work programs and Workgroups and supports global strategy development and implementation. CANSO’s work programs are currently focussed in the areas of ATM Safety, Environment and Business Transformation.
