As Canada enters one of the busiest travel seasons of the year, we are proud to acknowledge our members, their professionalism, focus and dedication.

Long weekends, summer vacations and major events bring increased demand across the aviation system. Behind every safe departure, arrival and overflight are controllers managing complex traffic, adapting in real time and keeping safety at the centre of every decision.

To our members: thank you for the work you do every day, especially during the busiest periods of the year. Your skill, judgment and commitment keep Canada’s skies moving safely.

Alors que le Canada entre dans l’une des périodes de voyage les plus achalandées de l’année, l’ACCTA est fière de mettre en lumière ses membres et le travail essentiel qu’ils accomplissent pour assurer la sécurité et la fluidité du ciel canadien.

Les longues fins de semaine, les vacances estivales et les grands événements entraînent une augmentation importante de la demande à l’échelle du système aérien. Derrière chaque départ, arrivée et survol effectués en toute sécurité se trouvent des contrôleurs aériens qui gèrent un trafic complexe, s’adaptent en temps réel et placent la sécurité au cœur de chacune de leurs décisions.

À nos membres : merci pour le professionnalisme, la vigilance et le dévouement dont vous faites preuve à chaque quart de travail. Votre travail est essentiel, et l’ACCTA est fière de vous représenter et de défendre vos intérêts.
