Capacity - Portugal
PRB monitoring
▪ NAV Portugal registered 0.25 minutes of average en route ATFM delay per flight, thus not achieving the local breakdown value of 0.23.
▪ Delays must be considered in the context of the traffic evolution: IFR movements in 2020 were 59% below the 2019 levels in Portugal.
▪ Portugal reported that delays were generated by the transition to the provisional OPS room, associated works in the main OPS room, and the implementation of social distancing measures, which all reduced the available capacity.
▪ When comparing the first two months of 2020, the traffic was slightly lower than in 2019 (-2%) but en route ATFM delay increased by 38%.
▪ Portugal reported an almost 2% increase in ATCO FTE numbers in 2020 compared to 2019 values but this is still 8% less than planned for 2020.
▪ Portugal reported no rectifying measures to improve capacity performance.
▪ Delays were mostly related to ATC capacity issues and preventive COVID-19 measures.
▪ The share of delayed flights with delays longer than 15 minutes in Portugal decreased by 2.8 p.p. compared to 2019.
