Download Report

PRB monitoring

▪ Finland achieved a KEA performance of 3.39% compared to its target of 0.88% and did not contribute positively towards achieving the Union-wide target.

▪ The NSA states that the performance target was not met due to the shift of the traffic flows between Russia and Kaliningrad and between Finland and Japan.

▪ Both KEP and SCR deteriorated in comparison with 2022. The value of these two indicators is similar, meaning airspace users plan close to the shortest route available.

▪ The share of CDO flights increased marginally from 63.17% to 63.69% in 2023.

▪ During 2023, additional time in terminal airspace increased from 0.68 to 0.82 min/flight, while additional taxi out time increased from 2.81 to 3.02 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 Helsinki (EFHK; 2019: 3.04 min/dep.; 2020: 1.96 min/dep.; 2021: 2.15 min/dep.; 2022: 2.81 min/dep.; 2023: 3.02 min/dep.) exceeded in 2023 the SES average of 2.81 min/dep. These additional times are very influenced by the winter operations (winter maintenance and de-icing procedures), surpassing 8 min/dep. in December 2023. Additional taxi out times between April and September average 1.14 min/dep.
According to Finland’s monitoring report: No new initiatives or planned initiatives for additional taxi-out time PI. Additional taxi-out time is following the same pattern as in previous years. Additional taxi-out time is rather low from April to October and higher in the winter months due to winter maintenance and de-icing procedures.

ASMA

The additional times in the terminal airspace increased in 2023 but remained below the SES average of 1.16 min/arr. (EFHK; 2019: 1.19 min/arr.; 2020: 1 min/arr.; 2021: 0.6 min/arr.; 2022: 0.68 min/arr.; 2023: 0.82 min/arr.).

According to Finland’s monitoring report: No implemented or planned initiatives for additional time in terminal airspace PI.

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

Focus CDOs

The share of CDO flights at Helsinki (EFHK) has remained stable at 63.3% which is well above the overall RP3 value in 2023 (28.8%) and in the higher range of all observed values in 2023.
The highest monthly value was observed in May when the share of CDO flights was 71.6%.

LARA/PRISMIL implemented, automated reporting, that differs from manual calculation that was used earlier in 2020, 2021 and RP2.
The figures for 2020 and 2021 should be as follows:
2020 number of hours allocated & notified: 38,340; used: 34,296 (ratio 89.45%).
2021 number of hours allocated & notified: 37,346; used: 33,978 (ratio 90.98%).

Initiatives implemented or planned to improve PI#7

LARA/PRISMIL implemented, automated reporting, that differs from manual calculation that was used earlier in 2020, 2021 and RP2.
Figures for 2020 and 2021 should be as follows:
2020 number of aircraft filing via reserved or segregated airspace and CDRs: 1,676,883; could have planned: 1,779,163 (ratio 94.25%).
2021 number of aircraft filing via reserved or segregated airspace and CDRs: 1,908,679; could have planned: 1,982,855 (ratio 96.26%).
