Safety (Main ANSP)
▪ ANA Lux did not achieve its planned maturity levels in 2022 and showed degrading performance compared with 2021. ANA Lux established a Corrective Action Plans addressing specific areas for improvements.
▪ The overall safety performance of ANA Lux was stable, the rate of occurrences was comparable with previous years and remained below the Union-wide average.
▪ ANA Lux could improve its safety management by implementing automated safety data recording systems.
Capacity (Member State)
▪ Luxembourg registered 0.10 minutes of average airport arrival ATFM delay per flight during 2022, thus not achieving the local target of 0.05 (based on the latest submitted draft RP3 performance plan of Luxembourg).
▪ Compared to 2021, average arrival ATFM delays were 29% lower, while the number of IFR arrivals was 46% higher than in 2021.
▪ The leading cause of delays was ATC-related technical equipment issues, representing 67% of delays, while 32% of delays were related to adverse weather.
Cost-efficiency (En route/Terminal charging zone(s))
▪ The en route 2022 actual unit cost of Belgium-Luxembourg was 98.91 €2017, -5.3% lower than the determined unit cost (104.47 €2017).
▪ The terminal actual unit cost of Luxembourg was 243.87 €2017, -1.3% lower than the determined unit cost (247.01 €2017)
▪ The en route 2022 actual service units (2,096K) were in line with the determined service units (2,108K).
▪ The en route 2022 actual total costs were 13 M€2017 (-5.8%) lower compared to the determined, as all cost categories decreased.
▪ The decrease was mainly attributable to lower staff cost (-6.3 M€2017, or -4.0%) and other operating costs (-5.9 M€2017, or -12%). The reduced staff cost was due to lower staff costs in MUAC. The NSA explained that the lower other operating costs is a consequence of delayed investments.
▪ The en route actual unit cost incurred by users of Belgium-Luxembourg in 2022 was 119.54€, while the terminal actual unit cost incurred by users was 236.58€ for Belgium and 243.25€ for Luxembourg.
