Environment - Denmark

Download Report

PRB monitoring

▪ Denmark achieved a KEA performance of 1.44% compared to its target of 1.14% and did not contribute positively to achieving the Union-wide target.

▪ The NSA states that the main reason for NAVIAIR not achieving the target is the staffing challenges it faces.

▪ Both KEP and SCR improved in 2023. Despite the KEA target being missed, the improvement in SCR shows that Denmark has improved the environmental efficiency of its airspace when accounting for impacts outside of its control.

▪ The share of CDO flights decreased from 52.50% to 48.56% in 2023.

▪ During 2023, additional time in terminal airspace increased from 0.78 to 1.10 min/flight, while additional taxi out time increased from 2.37 to 2.59 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

Additional taxi-out times at Copenhagen in 2023 were 9% higher than in 2022 (EKCH; 2019: 2.59 min/dep.; 2020: 1.4 min/dep.; 2021: 1.52 min/dep.; 2022: 2.37 min/dep.; 2023: 2.59 min/dep.) but still below the SES average of 2.81 min/dep.
According to the Danish monitoring report: During the summer of 2023 there was WIP at main RWY 22L.

ASMA

Additional ASMA times at Copenhagen in 2023 increased by 41% and were higher than in 2019 (EKCH; 2019: 1.07 min/arr.; 2020: 0.9 min/arr.; 2021: 0.52 min/arr.; 2022: 0.78 min/arr.; 2023: 1.1 min/arr.), and just below the SES average of 1.16 min/arr.
According to the Danish monitoring report: During the summer of 2023 Naviair experienced ATCO shortages at EKCH and WIP RWY 22L which resulted in higher regulations and delays, which also had an impact in the ASMA.

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

Focus CDOs

The share of CDO flights is 46.1% which is well above the overall RP3 value in 2023 (28.8%) and in the higher range of all observed values in 2023. It is however a decrease of 3.9 percentage points with respect to 2022.

Civil-Military dimension

Focus on Civil-Military dimension

Update on Military dimension of the plan

The airspace design and procedures used are created in order to minimise the negative effects on the environmental performance.
FUA is fully implemented in Denmark. NSA, ANSP and Military cooperates with the scope of further reduction of the impact of the military dimension.

Military - related measures implemented or planned to improve capacity

FUA is fully implemented in Denmark, thus it is very hard to increase capacity any further. An ongoing project of reconfiguration of airspace for the new F35 fighters, is seeking to minimise the potential negative effects from the enlarged airspace reservations.

Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#6

None, NSA monitors the performance via regularly reporting as well as FUA Level 1 where the NSA and the Military evaluates the performance with the scope of further improvement if possible.

Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#7

“Neither Naviair or the NSA have this data available and have no plans to monitor this at local level but is using Eurocontrol numbers when available.
Free route airspace is implemented which is expected to decrease the use of CDR’s.*

Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#8

“Neither Naviair or the NSA have this data available and have no plans to monitor this at local level but is using Eurocontrol numbers when available. Free route airspace is implemented which is expected to decrease the use of CDR’s.*
