2/6

CANSO The Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation is the global voice o the companiesthat provide air trafc control, and represents the interests o Air Navigation Service Providers

(ANSPs) worldwide. CANSO members are responsible or supporting over 85% o world air

trafc, and through our Workgroups, members share inormation and develop new policies, with

the ultimate aim o improving air navigation services on the ground and in the air. CANSO has

an extensive network o Associate Members drawn rom across the aviation industry, and we

represent our members views in major regulatory and industry orums, including at ICAO, where

we have ofcial Observer status.

CANSOWho We Are & What We Do

CANSO Members agree that one o theundamental pre-requisites or achieving these

goals is a commitment to the separation o Air

Navigation Service provision rom the unction

o regulation.

This is important because too close a relationship

between the provider and regulator o a service has

the potential to undermine public condence in the

system. With the complexity and cost o ANS

increasing, leading to some ANSPs being placed

in a corporate ramework, ensuring a transparent

and independent regulatory process is vital.

CANSO MISSION

Assist Members in providing a safe

and seamless airspace, with particular

emphasis on customer-driven

performance, cost efficiency, and

optimised air traffic management. Our

principle function is to provide a global

forum to stimulate active co-operation

between members and our partners in

the wider aviation industry.

policy programme called Imagine 2010.

This three-year project is designed to reorm and

improve CANSO, to make it a more eective global

voice o ATM, and deliver work programmes which

create real value or members, particularly in certain

key areas where ATM aces unprecedented challenges.

Imagine 2010 increases the resources

available to CANSO, in both nancial and

human terms. A 10% ee increase was

agreed, along with the oer to second the

best and brightest sta rom ANSPs to

work on the three lead policy areas; Safety,

Environment, & Business Transformation.

In addition, it was agreed that CANSO

would increase the amount o money it

makes rom commercial services.

The aim o the Imagine 2010 project is to make CANSO

extraordinary. In the words o CANSO Secretary

General Alexander ter Kuile, extraordinary meansnot just exceeding our expectations, but exceeding

our imaginations. A range o innovative policy work

and communications campaigns are being created to

deliver the work programmes, transorm CANSO,

and ensure that it is the true global voice o ATM.
