PRB monitoring
▪ Estonia registered zero minutes of average en route ATFM delay per flight during 2021, thus meeting the local breakdown value of 0.01.
▪ En route ATFM delays in Estonia were also zero on average during the past years.
▪ Traffic recovery in Estonia has been slower than in many other Member States (also due to non-COVID-19 related issues) and 2019 traffic levels are not likely to be reached during RP3. A slight increase in the number of ATCOs in OPS is planned by the end of RP3 with no capacity related delays envisaged.
▪ The yearly total of sector opening hours in Tallinn ACC was 8,768, showing a 8.5% decrease compared to 2020. Sector opening hours are 30.5% below 2019 levels.
▪ Tallinn ACC registered 12.00 IFR movements per one sector opening hour in 2021, being 30.5% below 2019 levels.
Summary of capacity performance
Estonia experienced an increase in traffic from 96k flights in 2020 to 109k flights in 2021, with zero ATFM delay. However, traffic levels were still substantially below the 227k flights in 2019.
NSA’s assessment of capacity performance
En route capacity target set in the draft RP3 performance plan has been met for 2021.

No data available
Estonia identified two airports, Tallinn and Tartu, as subject to RP3 monitoring. In accordance with IR (EU) 2019/317 and the traffic figures at these 2 airports, pre-departure delays are not monitored and the capacity performance focuses on arrival ATFM delays and slot adherence.
Traffic at these Estonian airports in 2021 was 48% lower than in 2019.
Like in 2020, no arrival ATFM delays were observed in the entire 2021 at these two airports and there were only a few regulated departures with a slot adherence of 98.2%.
No arrival ATFM delay was observed at the Estonian airports (Tallinn and Tartu) in 2021.
The provisional national target on arrival ATFM delay in 2021 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
Only Tallinn had regulated departures in 2021, mainly as of July.
Tallinn’s ATFM slot compliance was 98.2%, very similar to the performance in 2020 (98.5%) which in fact corresponds with only 5 departures: 1 departing early and 4 departing late with respect to the STW in the entire 2021.
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 any airport in Estonia.
