Traffic (En route traffic zone)
▪ The en route charging zone of Belgium-Luxembourg recorded 639K actual IFR movements in 2021, +18% compared to 2020 (541K).
▪ Actual 2021 IFR movements represent 51% of the actual 2019 level (1,249K).
▪ The en route charging zone of Belgium-Luxembourg recorded 1,167K actual en route service units in 2021, +8.0% compared to 2020 (1,081K).
▪ Actual 2021 service units represent 45% of the actual 2019 level (2,620K).
Safety (Main ANSP)
▪ ANA Lux did not achieve any of the targets in 2021 and its performance is lagging the expected improvements as per the performance plan. ANA Lux needs to improve in seven EoSM questions by the end of RP3.
▪ The NSA prepared and approved a corrective plan to improve the performances given that ANA Lux did not achieve its intermediate EoSM targets in two management objectives. The NSA closely supervises its implementation in the frame of its continuous oversight.
▪ ANA Lux uses the Occurrence Reporting Monitoring to report the safety occurrences. The specific training programme was developed and implemented to improve awareness of occurrences both at the ground and air side.
▪ ANA Lux should improve its safety management by implementing automated safety data recording systems.
Capacity (Member State)
▪ Luxembourg registered 0.14 minutes of average airport arrival ATFM delay per flight during 2021, thus not achieving the local target of 0.12 (based on the latest submitted draft RP3 performance plan of Luxembourg).
▪ Compared to 2020, average arrival ATFM delays were more than two times higher, while the number of IFR arrivals was 18% higher than in 2020.
▪ The key drivers behind ATFM delays were ATC technical equipment issues and adverse weather, accounting for 58% and 42% of delays respectively.
Cost-efficiency (En route/Terminal charging zone(s))
▪ The en route 2020/2021 actual unit cost of Belgium-Luxembourg was 183.46 €2017, -3.0% lower than the determined unit cost (189.52 €2017).
▪ The terminal actual unit cost of Luxembourg was 333.73 €2017, -3.0% lower than the determined unit cost (344.18 €2017).
▪ The en route 2021 actual service units (1,167K) were in line with the determined service units (1,161K).
▪ The en route 2021 actual total costs were -12 M€2017 (-5.5%) lower than determined, mainly due to lower other operating costs (-8.1 M€2017, or -15%) and lower staff costs (-3.1 M€2017, or -2.1%). The NSA did not provide explanations for the variations of costs.
▪ The en route actual unit cost incurred by users of Belgium-Luxembourg in 2020/2021 was 195.76€, while the terminal actual unit cost incurred by users was 324.46€ for Belgium and 303.05€ for Luxembourg.
