Nav Canada will finalize the decommissioning of its telephone service for ATIS voice broadcasts by the end of next month. The country’s provider of civil air navigation services has been upgrading its infrastructure to allow access to ATIS information through the NC-Aero View website. This data will include sites that had not previously offered phone-based access.
Transitioning to text-based ATIS began in March 2024 and is expected to be largely complete by year-end. By next month, the last of the necessary updates will be finalized, with Nav Canada ending support for legacy technology. All ATIS telephone lines, including the 1-877-YVR-ATIS number, will be decommissioned by the telecom provider on March 19.
ATIS information began to populate on the web page last year. The shift from the voice-based system was reflected in updates to aeronautical publications on October 31 with the removal of telephone numbers previously used to access ATIS. This move is part of a broader initiative to modernize how ATIS information is delivered to aviation users and will enhance access to important flight-related data through more efficient digital means.
