COMPASS Workshop – Enhancing Regional Operational Collaboration in Africa

Join CANSO and Metron Aviation for an interactive workshop on COMPASS (CANSO Operational Messaging Platform for ATFM Sharing and Synchronisation).

COMPASS is a collaborative operational platform designed to enhance regional operational awareness, cross-border coordination, information sharing, and collaborative decision-making during both routine and disrupted operations.

The workshop will combine facilitated discussion, operational use cases, and live demonstrations to explore current regional coordination challenges and how greater visibility and collaboration can improve operational outcomes across the AFI region.

Participants will:
• Explore common regional coordination challenges across the AFI region;
• Experience a live demonstration of COMPASS and its operational capabilities;
• Discuss practical use cases involving weather events, airspace constraints, traffic management initiatives, integration of emerging users, and other operational disruptions;
• Learn how participating ANSPs can contribute operational information and benefit from enhanced regional situational awareness;
• Help shape the future direction of regional and inter-regional collaboration through COMPASS.
