History
In Canada, 7 FICs have replaced some of the Flight Service Stations. 56 Flight Service Stations remain in operation, mainly at mandatory frequency airports. The FIC concept was conceived from a program begun in the 1990s by Transport Canada, and continued by NAV CANADA after the company's inception in 1996. The original plan had a 20 year span and would have included 22 Hubs (FICs). Nav Canada decided to accelerate the process and further centralize the project into the 7 FIC's that exist today.
