Arrival ATFM delay (KPI#2)

The scope of RP3 monitoring for Luxembourg comprises the main airport (ELLX), where traffic decreased by 47% in 2020 compared to the previous year. This traffic reduction had an obvious impact on the ATFM measures, with zero arrival ATFM delays as of April.
In accordance with IR (EU) 2019/317 and the traffic volume, pre-departure delays are not monitored at Luxembourg and the capacity performance monitoring focuses on arrival ATFM delay and slot adherence.

The massive traffic drop due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in Europe as from March 2020 (-47% for the whole year for ANA LUX) has reduced the 2020 March - December traffic to a very low level (from -35% in March down to -83% in April).
The average arrival ATFM delay at Luxembourg in 2020 was 0.06 min/arr, drastically lower compared with 1 min/arr in 2019 (-94%).

Delays were only observed in January and February and a small fraction in March, and they were 100% attributed to weather.

The provisional national target on arrival ATFM delay in 2020 was met.

In accordance with Article 3 (3) (a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1627: The incentive scheme shall cover only the calendar years 2022 to 2024.

ATFM slot adherence

With the drastic drop in traffic, regulated departures from Luxembourg also virtually disappeared as of April. The annual figure is therefore driven by the performance in the first trimester.
Luxembourg’s ATFM slot compliance was 90.2%
With regard to the 9.8% of flights that did not adhere, 5.46% was early and 4.34% was late.

ATC pre-departure delay

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 Luxembourg.
