PRB monitoring
▪ Austria achieved a KEA performance of 2.09% compared to its target of 1.96% and did not contribute positively to the Union-wide target. KEA performance deteriorated by 0.22 p.p. in comparison to 2021.
▪ The NSA states that the target was missed mainly due to shifted traffic flows caused by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and a resulting increase in traffic, weather phenomena during summer and non-optimised trajectories.
▪ Both KEP and SCR deteriorated in comparison to 2021.
▪ Only one out of six Austrian airports that are regulated reported terminal environment data.
▪ The share of CDO flights decreased by 6.06% compared to 2021.
▪ During 2022, additional time in terminal airspace decreased from 0.95 to 0.82 min/flight, while additional taxi out time increased from 1.94 to 2.09 min/flight.
AXOT
Additional taxi-out times at Vienna remain around 2 min/dep in 2022 (LOWW; 2019: 3.1 min/dep.; 2020: 2.07 min/dep.; 2021: 1.94 min/dep.;2022: 2.09 min/dep.)
According to the Austrian monitoring report: Continuous improvements are made to shorten taxi times, nonetheless, various facts like partial closure of gates due to COVID at the beginning of 2022 were influencing ground movements.
ASMA
Additional ASMA times at Vienna lowered again in 2022 and are now 61% lower than pre-COVID (LOWW; 2019: 2.13 min/arr.; 2020: 1.28 min/arr.; 2021: 0.95 min/arr.;2022: 0.82 min/arr.)
According to the Austrian monitoring report the AMAN functionality has been fully applied.
Share of arrivals applying continuous descent operations (CDOs) (PI#5)
Vienna (LOWW) has the highest share of CDO flights in Austria: 30.6% which is slightly higher than the overall RP3 value in 2022 (29.0%).
The other airports have 24-30% of CDO flights, except for Innsbruck (LOWI): 15.7% and Salzburg (LOWS): 13.9%.
All airports have seen a (slight) reduction of the share of CDO flights, except for Klagenfurt (LOWK) which had an increase of 3.4 percentage points.
According to the Austrian monitoring report: Awareness campaigns on both sides, ATCOs and Airlines increase the CDO application. Despite additional traffic compared to 2020 and 2021, the CDO value could be maintained or even improved.

Update on Military dimension of the plan
Military dimension has little to no impact on the environmental KPA, due to a highly efficient and flexible use of airspace with close military coordination.
Practically no impact of MIL dimension on the capacity KPA.
The planning of airspace use at pre-tactical level is done via the civil/military joint unit Airspace Management Cell
(AMC). Day-to-day co-ordination of Operational Air Traffic (OAT) and General Air Traffic (GAT) is handled at the tactical level between civil ATS Units and representatives of the Military Control Centre (MCC).
FUA Level 3 is fully applied.
Military - related measures implemented or planned to improve capacity

Preparations for LARA implementation are set, which is planned for operational use by end 2023.

Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#8
Not yet measured, as CDRs are not in place, and due to extremely flexible usage of airspace, nearly all aircraft planning through reserved area are able to do so.
Only a few aircraft might be subject to minor reroutings (horizontal / vertical).
