CANSO and Metron Aviation Announce COMPASS Launch
The Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO) and Metron Aviation, a subsidiary of Stratify Aerospace, have reached an agreement to launch a digital platform, COMPASS, by early 2026. Under the partnership, CANSO will work directly with regional aviation stakeholders to establish the COMPASS regions, with Metron Aviation providing, operating and maintaining the platform at no cost to CANSO and its members, thus ensuring global accessibility and long-term value for all stakeholders.
COMPASS – CANSO Operational Messaging Platform for Air Traffic Flow Management Sharing and Synchronisation – is a digital platform designed for the purpose of improving situational awareness and collaborative decision-making across the aviation community, transforming the way air navigation service providers (ANSPs) and other aviation stakeholders (airports and airlines) share information and make decisions. The platform, which will promote global harmonization and support future-ready operations by enabling automation, synchronization and data-drive decision-making, will transition from existing regional platforms, such as the Americas’ CADENA OIS, towards a single, globally harmonized solution.
“COMPASS is a major step forward in building globally harmonized, resilient, and efficient ATM operations,” said Simon Hocquard, CANSO President and CEO. “By providing this platform free of charge, Metron Aviation has shown true leadership and a long-term commitment to supporting enhanced collaboration that will improve operations.”
“Stratify Aerospace, together with our subsidiary Metron Aviation, is pleased to partner with CANSO on the development of COMPASS, a platform designed to strengthen collaborative decision-making, enhance shared situational awareness, and enable the global ATFM community to share information more effectively,” said Gene Hayman, CEO of Stratify Aerospace.
