Environment - Estonia

Download Report

PRB monitoring

▪ Estonia achieved a KEA performance of 1.21% compared to its reference value of 1.33% and therefore contributed positively towards achieving the Union-wide target.

▪ Estonia offers airspace users a cross-border free route airspace with its partners in NEFAB and DK-SE FAB and stated that overflying traffic is as direct as it can be. The data confirms this since the KEA performance is similar to the shortest constrained routes in 2020.

▪ Only one out of two Estonian airports that are regulated reported terminal data.

▪ The share of flights operating CCO/CDO at Estonian airports remained similar in 2020 compared to 2019. However, the performances are still class leading with more than 60% of all arrivals completing a CDO landing.

▪ Airspace users spent the same amount of additional time taxiing or holding in terminal airspace in 2020 as they did in 2019, i.e. the reduction in traffic did not help improve performance. Although the additional times are quite small at 1.29 minutes per flight, some improvement should have been possible given the lack of congestion.

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

This indicator is not monitored for airports below 80,000 IFR movements annual average during the 2016-2018 period, so it is not monitored for any airport in Estonia.

ASMA

This indicator is not monitored for airports below 80,000 IFR movements average during the 2016-2018 period, so it is not monitored for any airport in Estonia.

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

Focus CDOs

The shares of CDO flights for both Tallinn (EETN) and Tartu (EETU) are above 60% 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

No impact of MIL dimension on the capacity KPA. The planning of airspace use at pre-tactical level is done via the civil/military joint unit Airspace Management Cell (AMC).
