PRB monitoring

▪ FABEC stated that half of the Union-wide RAD simplifications applied in 2020 were within FABEC airspace and that eNM measures were not needed. This helped improve the shortest constrained routes within FABEC, but was not sufficient in helping to reach the FAB-level KEA reference value (2.90%) in 2020.

▪ At national level, the Netherlands achieved a KEA performance of 2.63% and the FABEC reference value is 2.90%.

▪ While the KEA performance in the Netherlands improved relative to 2019, the SCR was stable.

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

▪ The share of flights operating CCO/CDO at Dutch airports improved in 2020 compared to 2019, although it still requires further improvement as less than 30% of flights conduct CDOs.

▪ The additional time airspace users spent taxiing or holding in terminal airspace reduced by 43% 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

Additional taxi-out times at Amsterdam (EHAM; 2019: 3.11 min/dep; 2020: 1.78 min/dep.) already showed improvement in the first quarter of the year compared to 2019, and then drastically dropped to 0.37 min/dep. average in April 2020. The rest of the year these additional times remained low, around half of the values in 2019.

ASMA

Additional times in the terminal airspace of Amsterdam (EHAM; 2019: 1.78 min/arr.; 2020: 1.02 min/arr.), after averaging more than 2 min/arr. in February (probably due to the storms in central Europe), plummeted to zero during April, May and June 2020. From June until the end of the year, the additional times steadily increased but still remained well under the 1 min/arr.

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

Focus CDOs

Amsterdam, being the major airport in the Netherlands, has the highest share of CDO flights of the 4 airports: 30.0% which is a little below the overall RP3 value in 2020 (32.5%). Groningen (EHGG) and Rotterdam (EHRD) have (a little) more than 20% of CDO flights while Maastricht-Aachen (EHBK) has only 11.3% of CDO flights.
