CANSO OSC Full Workgroup Meeting 2021
As members of CANSO’s Operations Standing Committee (OSC), we work around the world to lead air traffic management (ATM) operational issues and promote and exchange our industry’s best practice in operations and technical areas.
Once again we came together this year, virtually, to explore the latest in ATM operations, and our work to support and develop it further.
It was especially pertinent to meet so soon after the launch of CANSO’s new strategic direction. Over the course of our three days, we looked at how we can support CANSO in shaping our future skies, making them sustainable, and bringing together the best of our cooperative and collaborative ambitions.
