Safety
▪ MUAC achieved its RP3 EoSM target levels in 2021 and continued to further improve safety performance by increasing to level D in two areas.
Capacity
▪ Maastricht UAC registered 0.05 minutes of average en route ATFM delay per flight during 2022 contributing positively to achieving the national targets of Belgium/Luxembourg, Germany, and the Netherlands.
▪ The average number of IFR movements was on average 17% below 2019 levels for MUAC.
▪ Traffic is expected to grow in the coming years, reaching 2019 levels in 2024. The number of ATCOs in OPS is planned to increase, however, due to the more-than-anticipated number of ATCOs stopping working in OPS, actual values remain 5% below the plan.
▪ The limited amount of en route ATFM delays were due to ATC-related disruptions and other, non-ATC causes, and occurred mostly during March, May, and June in 2022.
Cost-efficiency
▪ MUAC 2022 actual costs amounted to 186 M€2017, -13% lower than the determined costs for the year (215 M€2017).
▪ Actual 2022 MUAC costs were allocated across the four Member States in the following way: Belgium 33%, Luxembourg 1%, Germany 47%, the Netherlands 19%.
