NAV CANADA, the private corporation that owns and operates Canada’s air traffic control system, completed the negotiation of a new three-year, $750 million revolving operating and term credit facility with a group of Canadian chartered banks and other financial institutions led by Royal Bank of Canada. The deal closed on February 17, 2003. The facility is secured by NAV CANADA’s Capital Markets Platform Master Trust Indenture, which is the vehicle also used to secure NAV CANADA’s $2.25 billion of public revenue bonds presently outstanding.
