Traffic (En route traffic zone)
▪ The en route charging zone of Belgium-Luxembourg recorded 541K actual IFR movements in 2020, -57% compared to 2019 (1,249K).
▪ The reduction in IFR movements for Belgium-Luxembourg is in line with the average reduction at Union-wide level (-57%).
▪ The en route charging zone of Belgium-Luxembourg recorded 1,081K actual en route service units in 2020, -59% compared to 2019 (2,620K).
▪ Belgium-Luxembourg service units reduced more than the average reduction at Union-wide level (-57%).
Safety (Main ANSP)
▪ ANA LUX needs to improve the level of maturity in five out of 28 EoSM questions (one question for each management objective) to achieve the RP3 targets. The PRB considers this feasible to achieve during RP3. The NSA explained that the mindset of some staff is the main hurdle to reach the RP3 targets. ANA LUX has implemented specific safety oriented trainings to significantly improve the safety culture and safety promotion.
▪ Rates of occurrence in Belgium decreased for both runway incursions and separation minima infringements. For data on occurrences related to ANA LUX, please refer to Annex III.
▪ ANA LUX should improve its SMS by implementing automated safety data recording systems.
Capacity (Member State)
Cost-efficiency (En route/Terminal charging zone(s))
▪ The 2020 actual service units (1,081K) were 57% lower than the actual service units in 2019 (2,538K).
▪ Belgium-Luxembourg increased all cost categories in 2020, with 2020 actual costs being 19 M€2017 (+10%) higher compared to 2019 actuals. Belgium and Luxembourg are one of the few Member States that increased costs and did not achieve the cost-efficiency targets in 2019.
▪ The increase in costs is attributable to four main reasons: (i) a change in allocation method of the approach costs, (ii) increased cost of capital due to higher net current assets (+48 M€2017, +323%), (iii) increased MUAC costs, and (iv) increased Eurocontrol costs.
