Cost-efficiency - SES RP3
PRB monitoring
▪ In 2020/2021, Member States met the en route cost-efficiency Union-wide target.
▪ Union-wide en route actual costs in 2020/2021 were -2.3% below determined costs, while service units were +1.1% higher than planned. The discrepancy in costs is concerning, because Member States submitted their performance plans for 2021 in October of that year, and at a time they knew the actuals of more than half of 2021. Member States should have been able to plan their deter\002mined cost more accurately.
▪ The en route actual unit cost for airspace users (AUCU) has been -2.4% lower than the determined unit cost.
▪ The actual values of 2021 enable the calculation of the revenue gap ANSPs incurred during 2020/2021. The amount equals 5.6B €2017, which will be spread as an increase in the unit rates over five to seven years.
