PRB monitoring
▪ Hungary achieved a KEA performance of 1.64% compared to its target of 1.50% and did not contribute positively towards achieving the Union-wide target. KEA slightly increased by 0.13 p.p. in comparison to 2020.
▪ In January 2021 Slovakia joined SEE FRA, offering cross border FRA with Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania. The NSA stated that the difference compared to the target is beyond of the control of the ANSP, and it might be linked to airspace user choices.
▪ However, SEE FRA only enables cross border operations with two out of seven of Hungary’s neighbouring countries and airspace restrictions/reservations may also have impeded performance.
▪ KEP reached the best level over the past five years, however, SCR deteriorated to 2019 levels.
▪ Share of CDO flights slightly increased in comparison to 2020, and is higher than pre-pandemic years.
▪ Additional time in terminal airspace remained at similar levels to 2020, while additional taxi out time increased by 22%.
AXOT
Additional taxi-out times at Budapest (LHBP; 2019: 1.63 min/dep.; 2020: 0.87 min/dep.; 2021: 1.06 min/dep.) increased with respect to 2020 but remained below 1.5 min/dep. even in the second part of the year when traffic recovered.
According to the Hungarian monitoring report: As the actual value of this PI is satisfactory, no additional initiatives are needed.
ASMA
The additional times in the terminal airspace in 2021 were similar to the values in 2020 (LHBP; 2019: 0.85 min/arr.; 2020: 0.66 min/arr.; 2021: 0.67 min/arr.)
Nevertheless, in August these values exceeded the worst values in 2019, averaging 2.24 min/arr.
According to the Hungarian monitoring report: As the actual value of this PI is satisfactory similar to the previous year’s value no additional initiatives are needed.
Share of arrivals applying continuous descent operations (CDOs) (PI#5)
The share of CDO flights for Budapest has slightly increased from 33.4% in 2020 to 34.0% in 2021. This value is slightly above the overall RP3 value in 2021 (30.5%).
Between June and November, the monthly values decreased significantly with the lowest value in August (25.9%).
According to the Hungarian monitoring report: As the actual value of this PI is very good no additional initiatives are needed.

Update on Military dimension of the plan
The impact of military operations to civil traffic was irrelevant in 2021. The airspace design and procedures are in line with FUA policies.
Military - related measures implemented or planned to improve capacity
No data available
Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#6
A more efficient design process has helped to improve the efficiency rate.
Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#7
With the implementation of free route airspace in Hungary in 2015 all the ATS routes have been eliminated.
Since that the entire CDR route concept is not applicable anymore in Hungary.
