Capacity - SES RP3

Download Report

PRB monitoring

▪ ANSPs reached the en route capacity targets in 2021 due to lower traffic. Overall, ANSPs provided sufficient capacity to keep delays to the target (0.32 delay minutes per flight).

▪ Terminal capacity performance (arrival ATFM delay per flight) improved compared to 2020, despite increased traffic. However, the all-cause departure delay increased by more than 20% and amounted to over 12 minutes per flight.

▪ The results of 2021 indicate that many ANSPs will not be able to provide the capacity needed to cope with higher traffic. Operational efficiency of capacity provision deteriorated further in 2021 compared to 2020, a trend which will have to be reversed in the remaining years of RP3.
