PRB monitoring

▪ Denmark achieved a KEA performance of 1.12% compared to its reference value of 1.21% and therefore contributed positively towards achieving the Union-wide target.

▪ While Denmark stated that the significant fall in traffic boosted its KEA performance and that it expects that performance will worsen as traffic grows, there were no major operational or structural changes made in 2020 to help ensure the performance can be sustained as best as possible.

▪ While the share of flights operating CCO/CDO at Copenhagen airport improved in 2020 compared to 2019, the CCO performance remained stable. Around half of all arrivals at Copenhagen airports completed a CDO procedure, which is one of the best Union-wide performance.

▪ The additional time airspace users spent taxiing or holding in terminal airspace reduced by 37% compared to 2019.

En route performance

Horizontal flight efficiency of the actual trajectory (KEA) (KPI#1), of the last filed flight plan (KEP) (PI#1) & shortest constrained route (SCR) (PI#2)

Terminal performance

Additional taxi-out time (AXOT) (PI#3) & Arrival Sequencing and Metering Area (ASMA) time (PI#4)

Focus on ASMA & AXOT

AXOT

Additional times at Copenhagen (EKCH; 2019: 2.59 min/dep.; 2020: 1.4 min/dep.) averaged 0.67 min/dep. from April until the end of the year, resulting in an annual reduction of 46% with respect to the previous year.

ASMA

The additional times in the terminal airspace also decreased in 2020 (EKCH; 2019: 1.07 min/arr.; 2020: 0.9 min/arr.) but in a smaller proportion compared to the additional taxi-out times or the additional ASMA times at other European airports.

Share of arrivals applying continuous descent operations (CDOs) (PI#5)

Focus CDOs

The share of CDO flights is 50.2% which is well above the overall RP3 value in 2020 (32.5%) and in the higher range of all observed values in 2020.

Civil-Military dimension

Focus on Civil-Military dimension

Update on Military dimension of the plan

FUA is fully implemented in Denmark, thus it is very hard to increase capacity any further. Denmark fulfils the capacity targets. Denmark already fulfils the environmental targets. The airspace design and procedures used are created in order to minimise the negative effects on the environmental performance.

Military - related measures implemented or planned to improve environment and capacity

FUA is fully implemented in Denmark. NSA, ANSP and Military cooperates with the scope of further reduction of the impact of the military dimension. NSA monitors capacity performance.

Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#6

None: NSA monitors the performance via regularly reporting. ANSP and Military evaluates the performance with the scope of further improvement if possible.

Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#7

No data available.

Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#8
