ANSP Statistics

CANSO collates a number of key industry statistics which it uses to better understand industry trends, and to benchmark ANSP performance. One key statistic is the amount of IFR movements handled by each CANSO member. Each month the previous monthly activity per member will be published on this page, and in CANSO News.

CANSO members calculate IFR movements as a combination of total domestic flights, plus overflights, plus international arrivals and departures

Further industry data can be found in the ANSP Global Benchmarking summary document which is available on the ATM Performance page.

March 2012 vs March 2011

March 2012 was a mixed month for CANSO Member ANSPs, resulting in a slight dip in growth compared to March 2011. CARC controlled 25% fewer movements, followed by Aena (7.7%) and Hellenic CAA (7.6%). Meanwhile, the Asia-Pacific region dominated growth: ANWS 16.7%), AEROTHAI (8.2%) and CAAS (7.7%). Kazaeronavigatsia also controlled significantly more movements (14.4%), as did State ATM Corporation (8.1%).
