PRB monitoring

▪ Greece achieved a KEA performance of 2.26% compared to its target of 1.92% and did not contribute positively towards achieving the Union-wide target.

▪ The NSA states that the target was missed mainly due to military activity, adverse weather phenomena and high levels of traffic.

▪ Both KEP and SCR improved in comparison with 2022 and, according to the NSA, this is mainly because HASP implemented FRA H24 in 2023. Despite the KEA target being missed, the improvement in SCR shows that Greece has improved the environmental efficiency of its airspace when accounting for impacts outside of its control.

▪ The share of CDO flights increased marginally from 42.86% to 43.31% in 2023.

▪ During 2023, additional time in terminal airspace increased from 1.37 to 1.44 min/flight, while additional taxi out time decreased from 3.18 to 2.85 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 Athens (LGAV: 2019: 2.61 min/dep.; 2020: 1.54 min/dep.; 2021: 2.12 min/dep.; 2022: 3.18 min/dep.; 2023: 2.85 min/dep.) decreased in 2023 after significant increases in the previous 3 years, and sit above the SES average of 2.81 min/dep.

ASMA

The additional times in the terminal airspace (LGAV; 2019: 1.30 min/arr.; 2020: 1.03 min/arr.; 2021: 1.15 min/arr.; 2022: 1.37 min/arr.; 2023: 1.44 min/arr.) observed a gradual increase during RP3, and in 2023 was higher than in 2019 and than the SES average for 2023 (1.16 min/arr.)

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

Focus CDOs

The share of CDO flights at Athens (LGAV) has stayed stable in 2023 at 38% which is above the overall RP3 value in 2023 (28.8%).
The monthly values ranged from 36.5% in November to 41.5% in December.

Civil-Military dimension

Focus on Civil-Military dimension

Update on Military dimension of the plan

The activation of military areas oubviously degrade performace indicators. Airspace design could minimize the impact on GAT flights by modifing appropriately the limits of requested military areas as much as possible so as major flows of traffic not to be affected.

Military - related measures implemented or planned to improve capacity

Use of designing tools could improve the situation in assessing the impact. Transformation of military areas in AMA areas activated by EAUP/EUUP could also minimize the impact, and subsequently it’s a method used for improvement.
