NAV CANADA is hosting public consultation sessions for its proposed flight path changes over the Greater Vancouver Region this January. Learn more about how these changes affect Delta at www.navcanada.ca/VAMP.
The proposed changes by NAV CANADA would result in new arrival routes that will enhance safety while reducing overflight of residential communities where possible. As part of the initiative, an additional type of arrival procedure—known as Required Navigation Performance Authorization Required (RNP AR)—is being introduced at YVR to leverage satellite-based positioning and modern aircraft flight management.
If implemented, some residents may observe changes to air traffic patterns associated with select operations in the region. As a result, NAV CANADA is undertaking public consultation to ensure that communities can learn about the proposal and provide input on the proposed changes.
