Welcome to the website of the Worldwide Symposium on Performance of the Air Navigation System, which was held in Montreal from 26 – 30 March 2007.

This global event is in follow-up to the Eleventh Air Navigation Conference (AN-Conf/11) held in 2003, during which a performance framework for the air navigation system was outlined, based on the global air traffic management operational concept. Substantial progress has been achieved since AN-Conf/11 through the work of panels of experts working under the auspices of ICAO as well as by individual States and international organizations.

The symposium is intended to create awareness among government policy makers and regulators, air navigation service providers, airport operators and airspace users of the need to create a performance framework for the purpose of enhancing safety and efficiency in the air navigation system. It will also be open to participation by the wider aviation industry, as well as other parties interested in air navigation and air transport performance aspects, such as financiers, consultants and members of the academic community. Invited prominent moderators and speakers will lead the discussion on immediate and future issues related to the performance of the air navigation system, and ample time will be available for interaction between panellists and the audience.
