Environment - Latvia

Download Report

PRB monitoring

▪ Latvia achieved a KEA performance of 1.24% compared to its reference value of 1.30% and therefore contributed positively towards achieving the Union-wide target.

▪ As well as benefitting from lower traffic levels, Latvia will implement A-CDM in 2021, which is expected to deliver almost 1,000 tons of CO2 savings per year. However, the KEA performance in 2020 was worse than in 2016 and since the shortest constrained routes in Latvia in 2020 were 1.14%, the PRB believes further improvements (in addition to the already good performance) are possible.

▪ Only one out of four Latvian airports that are regulated reported terminal data.

▪ The share of flights operating CCO/CDO at Latvian airports worsened in 2020 compared to 2019. Latvia’s commitment to implementing PBN should improve this performance in the future. The additional time airspace users spent taxiing or holding in terminal airspace reduced by 20% 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

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 Latvia.

ASMA

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 Latvia.

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

Focus CDOs

According to the Latvian monitoring report: More regular and increased use of CDO could take place after implementation of PBN procedures at EVRA and EVLA. Although PBN procedures still have to be implemented, the shares of CDO flights are already quite high and well above the overall RP3 value (32.5%). All values are at or above 50%.

Civil-Military dimension

Focus on Civil-Military dimension

Update on Military dimension of the plan

Due to COV19 impact on air traffic in 2020, there was no noticeable impact of military dimension on capacity, or environment.

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

It is planned to follow ERNIP guidance and reg 2150/2005 requirements.

Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#6

It is planned that certain areas for mil RPAS, which technically have been integrated as GAT, would not be used. As a result, less airspace reservation would be necessary. Permanently restricted military areas were not included in the calculations.

Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#7

FRA has been implemented since 2015.

Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#8

FRA has been implemented since 2015.
