Capacity - Germany
PRB monitoring
▪ Germany registered 2.28 minutes of average en route ATFM delay per flight during 2022, which has been adjusted to 2.27 during the post-ops adjustment process.
▪ Average en route ATFM delay per flight was further adjusted to 2.20 minutes per flight due to the exceptional event related to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, still not achieving the local target value of 0.27.
▪ The average number of IFR movements was 20% below 2019 levels in Germany in 2022.
▪ The number of ATCOs in OPS is expected to increase significantly in Bremen and Karlsruhe ACCs and to increase only slightly in Langen and Munich. The number of ATCOs in OPS remained unchanged in Bremen ACC and in Karlsruhe UAC there was an increase but actual values in both ACCs remained below the plans in 2022. In Langen and Munich, there was an increase in the number of ATCOs in OPS, with the actual values being higher than the 2022 plans.
▪ The planned number of ATCOs in OPS in Karlsruhe remained below the level required to offer sufficient capacity.
▪ Delays were highest between May and September, mostly driven by ATC Capacity and Weather.
