’s-Hertogenbosch – March 20, 2007 - CANSO, the Civil Air Navigation Services Organization, is delighted to announce that Quintiq has joined the organization as a new associate member.

Quintiq offers software solutions to planning, scheduling and supply chain optimization issues and its ATM applications cover operational staff planning.
