The Government of Canada has extended the Interim Contracted Airborne Training Services (ICATS) with Discovery Air Inc. for a one-year period.

Top Aces, a wholly owned subsidiary of Discovery Air, is the prime supplier of Airborne Training services to the Canadian Army, Navy and Air Force. On February 23rd, 2005, the Government of Canada awarded three national standing offers to Top Aces to provide "fast jet" (known as Type 1) airborne training services to the Canadian Forces.

The standing offers were for a period of five years, and this extension will extend that service until 2011. Top Aces is the only compliant bidder in any area of ICATS Type 1 services.
