Download Report

PRB monitoring

▪ Sweden achieved a KEA performance of 1.70% compared to its target of 1.05% and did not contribute positively towards achieving the Union-wide target. KEA worsened by 0.66 p.p. compared to 2021.

▪ The NSA states that KEA worsened due to the traffic avoiding Russian airspace (including Kaliningrad), which is causing extended trajectories.

▪ Both SCR and KEP worsened compared to 2021 and were at the highest values in the past five years.

▪ The share of CDO flights increased by 9.52% compared to 2021.

▪ During 2022, additional time in terminal airspace increased from 0.43 to 0.60 min/flight, while additional taxi out time increased from 0.94 to 1.52 min/flight.

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)

Terminal performance

Additional taxi-out time (AXOT) (PI#3) & Arrival Sequencing and Metering Area (ASMA) time (PI#4)

Focus on ASMA & AXOT

AXOT

The additional taxi-out times at Stockholm increased by 62% in 2022 (ESSA; 2019: 2.05 min/dep.; 2020: 1.3 min/dep.; 2021: 0.94 min/dep.; 2022: 1.52 min/dep.).

According to the Swedish monitoring report: Due to technical difficulties, we have temporarily shut down our departure sequencing tool in the A-CDM process, and for this reason we´ve had increased taxi-out times. Above all, this is clearly visible during peak hours when there is a risk of queues on the taxiway. There is an ongoing work to get our departure sequencing tool up and running again, which will further on result in reduced taxi- out times.

ASMA

The additional time in the terminal area at Stockholm Arlanda was low and very stable around 1.2 min/arr during RP2. The traffic reduction led to an improvement in performance in 2020 and even further in 2021 and 2022 (ESSA; 2019: 1.15 min/arr.; 2020: 0.83 min/arr.; 2021: 0.43 min/arr.; 2021: 0.6 min/arr.).

According to the Swedish monitoring report: LFV and Swedavia is conducting the Swea project with the aim of modernizing traffic flows in the Stockholm area. This will result in a major redesign of traffic flows in Stockholm TMA and adjecent ACC sectors. First part of the redesign is planned to be implemented in the fall of 2025. Parallel approaches (Established on RNP-AR + ILS) will be implemented nov 2024.

Share of arrivals applying continuous descent operations (CDOs) (PI#5)

Focus CDOs

The share of CDO flights at Stockholm (ESSA) increased from 44.1% to 48.3% in 2022 which is above the overall RP3 value in 2022 (29.0%). The monthly values increased in the beginning of 2022 and decreased almost continuously during the rest of the year.

According to the Swedish monitoring report: Implementation of additional RNP-AR approaches is increasing predictability for arriving traffic and hence improving vertical efficiency. In nov 2024 parallel approaches (Established on RNP-AR + ILS) is planned for implementation. This will hopefully improve both horizontal and vertical flight efficiency.

Update on Military dimension of the plan

FUA has been implemented in Sweden since 1978, before the concept was defined on European level and the benefit is already achieved, therefore its limitations to environmental factors are small. Sweden have an implemented extended FUA with the content that not limit the capacity.
