Capacity - France
PRB monitoring
▪ France registered 2.09 minutes of average en route ATFM delay per flight during 2023 which has increased to 2.13 during the post-ops adjustment process, thus not achieving the local target value of 0.25. Delays in France increased by 0.65 minutes per flight year-on-year.
▪ Most of the delays accumulated between March and October, due to industrial action, adverse weather conditions and ATC staffing and ATM system transition.
▪ The share of delayed flights with delays longer than 15 minutes in France increased by 2 p.p. compared to 2022 and was higher than 2019 values.
▪ The average number of IFR movements was 4% below 2019 levels in France in 2023.
▪ In Bordeaux ACC the number of ATCOs in OPS is expected to increase by 14% by 2024, with the actual value being below the 2023 plan by 18 FTEs. In Brest the number of ATCOs in OPS is expected to increase by 2% by 2024, with the actual value being below the 2023 plan by 12 FTEs. In Marseille the number of ATCOs in OPS is expected to increase by 14% by 2024, with the actual value being over the 2023 plan by 6 FTEs. In Paris the number of ATCOs in OPS is expected to increase by 3% by 2024, with the actual value being below the 2023 plan by 2 FTEs. In Reims the number of ATCOs in OPS is expected to increase by 2% by 2024, with the actual value being over the 2023 plan by 18 FTEs.
▪ The yearly total of sector opening hours in Bordeaux ACC was 79,054, showing a 2.7% increase compared to 2022. Sector opening hours are 7.3% above 2019 levels. The yearly total of sector opening hours in Reims ACC was 62,948, showing a 5.6% decrease compared to 2022. Sector opening hours are 8.4% below 2019 levels. The yearly total of sector opening hours in Paris ACC was 74,134, showing a 10.4% decrease compared to 2022. Sector opening hours are 28% below 2019 levels. The yearly total of sector opening hours in Marseille ACC was 110,418, showing a 5.4% increase compared to 2022. Sector opening hours are 9.7% above 2019 levels. The yearly total of sector opening hours in Brest ACC was 74,308, showing a 17.3% increase compared to 2022. Sector opening hours are 9.1% below 2019 levels.
▪ Bordeaux ACC registered 11.77 IFR movements per one sector opening hour in 2023, being 11.9% below 2019 levels. Reims ACC registered 16.5 IFR movements per one sector opening hour in 2023, being 11.0% above 2019 levels. Paris ACC registered 15.11 IFR movements per one sector opening hour in 2023, being 27.1% above 2019 levels. Marseille ACC registered 10.12 IFR movements per one sector opening hour in 2023, being 12.1% below 2019 levels. Brest ACC registered 13.88 IFR movements per one sector opening hour in 2023, being 2.7% above 2019 levels.
▪ Year-on-year traffic growth was 9% in France, which is, on average, in line with the STATFOR October 2021 Base forecast. Major industrial actions had a detrimental impact on capacity performance in France in 2023. Ongoing system implementation and the training of ATCOs should show considerable improvement in the coming years.
▪ France registered an average airport arrival ATFM delay of 0.70 minutes per flight in 2023, thus not achieving the local target of 0.40 minutes.
▪ Compared to 2022, average arrival ATFM delays in France were 13% higher in 2023, while the number of IFR arrivals increased by 5%.
▪ The main reasons for delays were ATC disruptions (industrial action), responsible for 30% and ATC Staffing, accounting for 27% of delays.
