The accreditation has five levels, each representing increasingly ambitious standards for sustainability and environmental responsibility across ANSP facilities and airspace operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ATNS\u2019 achievement of Level 2 included recognition of their significant efforts in areas such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Environmental governance i.e., Environmental Policy and Planning; embedding an environmental culture and continued implementation and maintaining ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System that comprehensively covers its infrastructure, operations and services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Working towards improving efficiency in ATM, such as flexible use of airspace, trajectory optimisation, performance-based navigation (PBN) in en route and terminal airspace, air traffic flow management and improved surveillance coverage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Having a mature environmental management plan with clear targets and a strong staff culture around sustainability issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cATNS has reached an important milestone with their Level 2 accreditation in our GreenATM programme. Their efforts to adopt more sustainable practices highlight a genuine commitment to minimising aviation\u2019s environmental footprint. We\u2019re delighted to recognise their accomplishment and to support them as they continue making progress in this area,\u201d said Simon Hocquard, CANSO Director General.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ATNS commented, \u201cReaching Level 2 in CANSO\u2019s GreenATM accreditation marks a significant milestone for ATNS, especially as the organisation has been on a journey towards integrating environmentally sustainable practices into the business operations since 2013. Furthermore, in times when the world is increasingly shifting towards lowering environmental impacts and combatting climate change, participation in the programme is a significant validation of ATNS\u2019 commitment. This programme has provided valuable insights into key areas where we can further embed environmental sustainability across our operations. We remain committed to working closely with industry partners and airspace users as we advance toward a more sustainable future in aviation.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CANSO GreenATM programme encourages ANSPs worldwide to push for higher levels of environmental stewardship and collaborate on shared environmental goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":13578,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"CBBTypography":[]},"news-category":[59],"news-date":[62,78],"class_list":["post-13614","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-category-aswt","news-date-62","news-date-tuesday-2025"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>ATNS Awarded Level 2 in CANSO\u2019s GreenATM Environmental Accreditation - Airspace World 2026<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/airspaceworld.com\/blog\/news\/atns-awarded-level-2-in-cansos-greenatm-environmental-accreditation\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ATNS Awarded Level 2 in CANSO\u2019s GreenATM Environmental Accreditation - Airspace World 2026\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS), the air navigation service provider (ANSP) in South Africa, was recently awarded Level 2 in CANSO\u2019s GreenATM environmental accreditation programme.
