Flights to Canada Provide Escape to Rugged Paradise

With many people in Britain looking towards their next holiday as the summer season enters its final months, Canada may just offer the appeal that many need. With rugged and beautiful landscapes in addition to an eclectic cultural mix of Inuit, French and American traditions, the country could be the perfect escape for the winter season.

With a vast range of attractions for visitors Canada remains a popular yet less frequented holiday destination. Outdoor activities including skiing, climbing and exploring the country's beautiful landscape offer those with an adventurous streak the ideal setting to push their boundaries. Meanwhile visitors wishing to experience vibrant city life and historic culture can head to Montreal, Toronto, or North America's oldest city of St. Johns in Newfoundland. Toronto in particular is an eclectic mix of cultures with just under half its population coming from different countries. And with leafy parks, diverse cuisine, great shopping and festivals such as the International Film Festival there is a wealth of things to experience.

Meanwhile, globally one of the coldest countries, an icy atmosphere adds to the magical nature of Canada whether visitors are exploring the rugged terrain or intriguing cities. A place where huge snow drifts are to be expected and individuals quite often ice skate to work, Canada provides a thrilling experience for people whether passing through for business or taking an extended vacation. And with both economy and business flights from airports including Manchester and London Heathrow providing easy access, the winter holiday of a lifetime could be only a flight away.

Travellers flying from Gatwick to benefit from upgraded flight systems

Gatwick Airport, which currently holds the title of world's busiest single runway airport, has awarded a contract to NATS Services via its new owner – Global Infrastructure Partners. The contract aims to improve the efficiency of operations within the airport, and hopes to cut down aircraft emissions and passenger delays.

NATS Services was chosen by Global Infrastructure Partners to operate its new service, which it has dubbed A-CDM (Airport Collaborative Decision-Making), a service that the company hopes will develop and improve the management of its airfield. Gatwick, with routes to locations as diverse as Las Vegas, Prague and Riga, is the first airport to fully utilise the A-CDM service from NATS.

So what is A-CDM? Well, to put it simply it is the bringing together of all the different aspects of aircraft information onto one hand-held device or screen – information of which may include accurate forecasts of arrival times, current positions and optimum departure sequences. Important information such as this allows managers of air traffic, the airline and even support services to fine-tune daily operational decision-making into a more usable environment.

So how will this new development aid travellers departing to and from the airport? According to Head of Airside Operations at Gatwick, David Wilson, A-CDM will "not only increase the airport's capacity, it will also allow us to improve our aircraft stand management, traffic flows, taxi times and reduce congestion. This is already the world's busiest civil runway, and this will lead to more efficient operations, lower emissions and lower costs for our airlines."

The implementation of upgraded systems can be seen as a positive development for both the airport and its travellers. Gatwick will obviously benefit from smoother operations, and travellers will be set to enjoy more accurate flight information and fewer delays.
