PRB monitoring
▪ Norway achieved a KEA performance of 1.52% compared to its reference value of 1.43% and therefore did not contribute positively towards achieving the Union-wide target.
▪ Norway stated that possible reasons for missing the targets includes airspace users flying inefficient routes to benefit from cheaper unit rates, airspace restrictions, weather and other factors.
▪ Norway should investigate the reason in more detail as the given reasons are too broad. For example, the shortest constrained route has been at similar levels since 2018, suggesting that Norway has not been able to improve its airspace availability.
▪ Only one out of four Norwegian airports that are regulated reported the complete terminal data.
▪ The share of flights operating CCO/CDO at Norwegian airports improved in 2020 compared to 2019 and is one of the top performances Union-wide with 68% of flights conducting CDOs. The additional time airspace users spent taxiing or holding in terminal airspace reduced by 33% compared to 2019.
AXOT
The additional taxi-out times at Oslo decreased by 32% (ENGM; 2019: 3.92 min/dep.; 2020: 2.68 min/dep.)
The annual average is influenced by the performance during the winter months due to de-icing, and in fact the longest additional times were observed in December, averaging then more than 7 min/dep. despite the lower traffic.
ASMA
Additional taxi-out times at Oslo (ENGM; 2019: 1.03 min/arr.; 2020: 0.64 min/arr.) experienced a drastic impact from the traffic during the months of April to August, when they averaged zero min/arr.
At the end of the year these times increased again, but performance at Oslo remains best in class.
Share of arrivals applying continuous descent operations (CDOs) (PI#5)
All airports have very high shares of CDO flights with 3 airports having more than double the overall RP3 value in 2020 (32.5%). Trondheim has the highest share of CDO flights of all airports monitored in 2020 (77.1%).

Update on Military dimension of the plan
There is a plan to start monitoring the military dimension of the plan as soon as the LARA tool is fully implemented and working as planned (as of now partially implemented). There will also be continued focus on the effectiveness of the booking procedures. After the implementation of the NEFRA there have been clear indications that the NM IFPS system has some limitations on offering alternative routings and the fact that information from UUP is not feed into the system. This shows that there is a need for the NM to be more future oriented regarding system support for more advanced FRA implementation.
Military - related measures implemented or planned to improve environment and capacity
Norway is currently conducting a revision of the AMC agreement which will establish new and larger areas in our southern airspace. The Civil/military airspace committee focus on the improvement of the booking procedures and the intention to improve the ratio between booked versus used reserved airspace. The LARA implementation will contribute to more efficient booking procedures.
Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#6
Norway reports an improvement from 2019 (51%). Norway also reports that no data is available per ACC.
