Nav Canada restores original user fees

The temporary reduction in navigation and ATC user charges in Canada came to an end on December 31 in one of several steps Nav Canada is taking to stem a potential revenue shortfall resulting from reduced flight operations since September 11. This action will return user fees to the base levels established in September 1999 and will effectively lead to a 6-percent average increase in the costs of ATC and navigation services, effective January 1.
