PRB annual monitoring 2025
Remarks from the chair
This year’s PRB Annual Monitoring is the first monitoring publication of the fourth reference period (RP4) covering the results from the year 2025 and reflects the new working arrangements of the Performance Review Board (PRB) that was established together with its Secretariat.
In this context, the PRB has introduced a new format for the Annual Monitoring centred on a digital dashboard, through which stakeholders can consult the data and information provided by the NSAs. This has enabled the PRB to focus its efforts on identifying the most significant trends at both Union and local level, and on formulating targeted recommendations to further improve the performance of ANSPs and the Network Manager.
In this regard, the PRB has also launched a process aimed at fostering a more direct, continuous and constructive dialogue with all key actors involved in the development of the European ATM sector. Reliable and transparent data are essential for the analysis, the PRB will continue to engage with the NSAs to obtain additional information whenever needed.
Overall, performance in 2025 must be assessed against a backdrop of persistent traffic volatility and uncertainty, which has created substantial challenges for the implementation of the performance plans only recently adopted. Rapidly changing traffic flows reduce the reliability of forecasts and make the planning and delivery of service provision more complex. It is essential that ANSPs fully deliver on their commitments by implementing the measures presented and agreed during the planning phase. The Performance Review Board and its Secretariat are committed to supporting this objective.
I would like to acknowledge the invaluable contributions of the PRB Secretariat, EASA and EUROCONTROL, whose expertise has been critical to this report. Our mission is now clear: to address today’s challenges with determination and to deliver an air traffic management system that is resilient, sustainable and fit for the future.
