Environment - Lithuania

PRB monitoring

▪ Lithuania achieved a KEA performance of 12.21% compared to its target of 1.92% and did not contribute positively towards achieving the Union-wide target. KEA worsened by 9.20 p.p. in comparison to 2021.

▪ The KEA deterioration was due to significant route extensions as a result of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.

▪ SCR and KEP worsened significantly compared to 2021.

▪ The NSA also highlights that Lithuania’s geographical location (neighbouring Kaliningrad and Belarus) is a barrier to environmental performance.

▪ Lithuania has no airports that are regulated under the RP3 performance and charging scheme.

En route performance

Horizontal flight efficiency of the actual trajectory (KEA) (KPI#1), of the last filed flight plan (KEP) (PI#1) & shortest constrained route (SCR) (PI#2)

Civil-Military dimension

Update on Military dimension of the plan

Due to increased MIL activity in the region impact on environmental KPA is significant (to negative side). Airspace design is not sufficient to support current and future MIL activity, more new TSA type areas are requested for MIL operations. FUA principles are applied for day-to-day airspace management, procedures are implemented based on LoA with ASM tool LARA in use between CIV-MIL.

Capacity, though without impact to the target 2022 achievement, is severely affected to negative side due to increased MIL activity in the region. Increased bookings/usage of all types of MIL areas for day-to-day operations/training/exercises. GAT MIL activity as well increased (intel flights in the region).

Military - related measures implemented or planned to improve capacity

None known today due to importance, as well priority for the State, as well sensitivity of MIL operations in the region as the whole.

New Modular TSAs will be created, with focus on more flexible ways of area activation (tactical activation for MIL not affecting CIVIL, based on LoA).

Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#6

ON is implementing the latest version of LARA (v 4.0) to improve related performance. NSA will compare the trend of effectiveness after implementation of this measure and most probably with the efficiency of the neighbouring countries. NSA might be contacting the PRB depending on its competences.

Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#7

ON is implementing the latest version of LARA (v 4.0) to improve related performance. NSA will compare the trend of effectiveness after implementation of this measure and most probably with the efficiency of the neighbouring countries. NSA might be contacting the PRB depending on its competences.

Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#8

ON is implementing the latest version of LARA (v 4.0) to improve related performance. NSA will compare the trend of effectiveness after implementation of this measure and most probably with the efficiency of the neighbouring countries. NSA might be contacting the PRB depending on its competences.
