Download Report

PRB monitoring

▪ Sweden achieved a KEA performance of 1.03% compared to its reference value of 1.26% and therefore it contributed positively to the Union-wide target.

▪ In 2020, Sweden suspended RAD restrictions and removed ATS routes that existed above FL285. However, the shortest constrained routes in Sweden are still higher than KEA, suggesting that airspace users are not able to plan the routes they actually fly due to airspace constraints. To improve planning, Sweden could consider further measures such as cross-border free route airspace, which it has planned for 2023.

▪ The share of flights operating CCO/CDO at Stockholm Arlanda airport remained stable in 2020 compared to 2019, but performance is still class leading among regulated airports.

▪ The additional time airspace users spent taxiing or holding in terminal airspace reduced by 33% 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

The additional taxi-out times at Stockholm decreased by 37% (ESSA; 2019: 2.05 min/dep.; 2020: 1.3 min/dep.) with a sharp reduction from April until the end of the year, period in which these times averaged only 0.75 min/arr.

According to the Swedish monitoring report: The airport operator (Swedavia) is currently executing a CDM project that aims to, among other things, improve this PI.

ASMA

The additional time in the terminal area at Stockholm Arlanda was low and very stable around 1.2 min/arr during RP2. The traffic reduction in 2020 had a significant impact in the performance (ESSA; 2019: 1.15 min/arr.; 2020: 0.83 min/arr.), with additional ASMA times under 0.40 min/arr. between April and October.

According to the Swedish monitoring report: LFV is currently starting up a major airspace overhaul project. One of the objectives is to improve the airspace around ESSA. LFV is monitoring the additional time for each individual arrival and will use that data in the aforementioned project.

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

Focus CDOs

The share of CDO flights at Stockholm (ESSA) is 42.5% which is above the overall RP3 value in 2020 (32.5%).

Update on Military dimension of the plan

Environment: FUA has been implemented in Sweden since 1978, before the concept was defined on European level and the benefit is already achieved, therefore its limitations to environmental factors are small.

Capacity: Sweden have an implemented extended FUA with the content that [doesn’t create] limits in the capacity.
