CANSO-Aireon Data Driven Insights

CANSO and Aireon have launched an initiative to produce data-driven insights and analysis on global air traffic. This provides the aviation industry with a single source of information on air transport and the existing and emerging global and regional trends.

The CANSO-Aireon partnership is a first-of-its-kind initiative by the ATM industry to share important aviation data with ATM service providers and suppliers, and the aviation industry more widely.

The new insights showcase analysis of high-fidelity data on aircraft movements and flight hours worldwide. This enables CANSO to track global aviation operations and monitor trends over time.

This is particularly important when understanding and managing the impact of social or economic developments on the aviation industry. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, this data insight shows how the aviation industry has responded and is supporting the flow of essential goods and services.
