PRB monitoring
▪ Austria achieved a KEA performance of 2.11% compared to its target of 1.96% and did not contribute positively to the Union-wide target.
▪ The NSA states that the target was missed mainly due to increased traffic demand exceeding the forecasts, shifted traffic flows caused by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, weather phenomena during summer and non-optimised trajectories.
▪ Both KEP and SCR deteriorated in comparison to 2022.
▪ Only one out of six Austrian airports that are regulated reported terminal environment data.
▪ The share of CDO flights marginally decreased from 27.94% to 27.27% in 2023.
▪ During 2023, additional time in terminal airspace increased from 0.82 to 1.08 min/flight, while additional taxi out time increased from 2.09 to 2.84 min/flight.
AXOT
Additional taxi-out times at Vienna in 2023 increased by 36% with respect to 2022 (LOWW; 2019: 3.1 min/dep.; 2020: 2.07 min/dep.; 2021: 1.94 min/dep.; 2022: 2.09 min/dep.; 2023: 2.84 min/dep.).
According to the Austrian monitoring report: Partial closure of gates and construction works were influencing ground movements. Initial AOP was finished by end of 2023.
ASMA
Additional ASMA times at Vienna increased by 32% in 2022 but remain 49% lower than pre-COVID (LOWW; 2019: 2.13 min/arr.; 2020: 1.28 min/arr.; 2021: 0.95 min/arr.; 2022: 0.82 min/arr.; 2023: 1.08 min/arr.).
According to the Austrian monitoring report: Compared to the traffic volume before COVID, ASMA has continuously improved. Arrival Manager Wien is implemented and operationally successful.
Share of arrivals applying continuous descent operations (CDOs) (PI#5)
Klagenfurt (LOWK) has the highest share of CDO flights in Austria: 31.3% which is slightly higher than the overall RP3 value in 2023 (28.8%).
The other airports have 20-30% of CDO flights, except for Innsbruck (LOWI): 14.3% and Salzburg (LOWS): 13.8%. All airports have seen a (slight) reduction of the share of CDO flights, except for Klagenfurt (LOWK) which had an increase of 0.8 percentage points.
According to the Austrian monitoring report: CDO awareness campaign was launched during 2023, allowing to maintain CDO percentage levels despite traffic increase.

Update on Military dimension of the plan
FUA is fully implemented and in case of airspace reservations procedures are in place, that help to avoid circumnavigation of reserved areas. Military dimension has little to No impact on the enviromental KPA, due to a highly efficient and flexible use of airspace with close military coordination.
No impact on Capacity derived from MIL activities. The planning of airspace use at pre-tactical level is done via the civil/military joint unit Airspace Management Cell (AMC). Day-to-day coordination of Operational Air Traffic (OAT) and General Air Traffic (GAT) is handled at the tactical level between civil ATS Units and representatives of the Military Control Centre (MCC).
Military - related measures implemented or planned to improve capacity
No data available.
Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#6
LARA was implemented in December 2023.
Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#7
No CDRs applied in Austria. FUA in Austria allows original FPL filing through reserved airspace to a maximum extent possible.
Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#8
Not yet measured. LARA, implemented end of 2023 might enable this kind of statistics.
