PRB monitoring
▪ Italy achieved a KEA performance of 2.85% compared to its reference value of 2.83% and therefore did not contribute positively towards achieving the Union-wide target.
▪ Italy did not provide further explanations of its performance within the monitoring report, which is disappointing as the PRB expects the NSA to provide complete monitoring reports.
▪ While the share of flights operating CCO/CDO at Italian airports improved in 2020 compared to 2019, the CDO performance was below the level achieved in 2016, which suggests there was not a specific focus to improve this metric.
▪ The additional time airspace users spent taxiing or holding in terminal airspace reduced by 53% compared to 2019.
AXOT
Additional taxi-out times at Rome Fiumicino observed the highest reduction (LIRF; 2019: 7.87 min/dep.; 2020: 3.1 min/dep.), however this is the worst performance observed in 2020 at the RP3 airports subject to monitoring of this indicator. The performance was worse in the first 5 months of the year, with the highest average times observed in April, despite being the lowest month in traffic. From June to December additional taxi-out times at Fiumicino averaged 1.62 min/dep.
Malpensa (LIMC; 2019: 4.76 min/dep.; 2020: 2.66 min/dep.) had notably improved additional taxi-out times as of March, and especially from June to November (when they averaged 1.62 min/dep.) but then in December these increased again back to 4.66 min/dep. (probably influenced by remote de-icing procedures)
At Bergamo (LIME) and Venice (LIPZ) the additional taxi-out times decreased by approximately 45%, while at Milan Linate (LIML) they have reduced by 20%.
ASMA
The additional ASMA times showed a drastic reduction associated to the decrease in traffic, averaging zero min/arr. at Rome Fiumicino, Milan Malpensa and Bergamo in April and May.
The highest annual reduction in additional times in the terminal airspace at Italian airport was observed at Milan Malpensa (LIMC; 2019: 2.59 min/arr.; 2020: 0.85 min/arr.) where these times were zero in April and May and averaged 0.55 min/arr. from May to December.
Share of arrivals applying continuous descent operations (CDOs) (PI#5)
Rome-Fiumicino (LIRF), being the major airport in Italy, has the highest share of CDO flights of the 5 airports: 42.9% which is above the overall RP3 value in 2020 (32.5%). Bergamo (LIME) and Venice (LIPZ) also have shares of CDO flights higher than the overall RP3 value (LIME: 39.0%; LIPZ: 33.8%).
Milan-Linate (LIML) and Milan-Malpensa respectively have 27.9% and 24.0% of CDO flights.
