PRB monitoring

▪ The actual Union-wide average en route ATFM delay was 1.74 minutes per flight in 2022, 1.24 minutes per flight higher than the Union-wide target, and even higher than in 2019, despite less IFR movements.

▪ The European Commission adjusted the monitored value to 1.69, taking into account the delays due to the exceptional event relating to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. The adjusted actual value is 1.19 minutes per flight higher than the Union-wide target.

▪ 11 Member States did not achieve their local targets, indicating that most of the ANSPs did use the COVID-19 period to undertake the necessary initiatives to provide capacity to support the expected post-COVID-19 pandemic growth in traffic (as highlighted in last year PRB monitoring report).

▪ Terminal capacity performance deteriorated compared to 2021, mostly due to disruptions and airport-related capacity problems. All-cause departure delays were at a stunning 19.03 minutes per flight.

▪ Some ANSPs were not ready for the traffic recovery and network disruptions caused by sys-tem transitions. The impact of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine also had an adverse effect. If ANSPs cannot implement capacity improvement measures as planned, and/or can-not deploy new systems without major disruptions, 2023 is expected to show even higher delays.
