NAV CANADA announced today its traffic figures for the month of October 2022, as measured in weighted charging units for enroute, terminal and oceanic air navigation services, in comparison to its previous fiscal year and to its 2019 fiscal year (pre-pandemic). A fiscal year runs from September 1 to August 31.
