Strategy and Integration

The Strategy and Integration Programme deals with the strategic, institutional and regulatory aspects of air navigation services. It provides information and analysis to on issues related to the future of the air traffic management (ATM) industry and of CANSO.

Through the Strategy and Integration Programme CANSO Members develop common positions on key issues affecting the ATM industry and coordinate CANSO’s advocacy activities.

This Programme is also responsible for creating tools and guidance materials in all areas of ATM governance, human resources and management to help air navigation service providers (ANSPs) become more customer-focused, better-performing organisations. In addition to the Strategy and Integration Standing Committee which oversees the work of the Program, the following groups develop recommendations, policies, strategies and materials across a wide range of issues.
