Safety - Italy

PRB monitoring

▪ ENAV achieved the RP3 targets in 2020 ahead of plan and maintained its safety performance throughout RP3. The achieved maturity levels exceeded the planned maturity levels with two management Objectives at maturity level D (Safety Risk Management and Safety Assurance).

▪ Italy recorded an increase in the rate of runway incursions (RIs) and separation minima infringements (SMIs) relative to 2023. The NSA has established a process to monitor reported RIs and SMIs on a daily basis. Regular meetings are held by the ANSP to analyse these events, with a particular focus on identifying trends and underlying factors.

Effectiveness of Safety Management (EoSM) (KPI#1)

Focus on EoSM

All five EoSM components of the ANSP meet, or exceed, the RP3 target level. The level was maintained compared with 2023.

ENAV originally planned for a gradual improvement over RP3, reaching the target in 2023 with level D in Safety Risk Management. However, ENAV performed better than planned and achieved the RP3 targets already in 2020 and maintained these maturity levels throughout RP3.

Focus on runway incursions

Italy recorded a peak in 2021, but since then the rate of RIs decreased. Between 2023 and 2024, the rate of RIs increased marginally, still remaining below the Union-wide average.

The rate of RIs with ANS contribution has remained stable at a low level throughout RP3.

The NSA has established a process to monitor reported RIs on a daily basis.

Rate of separation minima infringements (SMIs) (PI#2)

Focus on separation minima

Over RP3, Italy has recorded a marginally increasing trend in the rate of SMIs. After a decrease from 2022 to 2023, the rate increased again in 2024, being similar to the Union-wide average since 2022.

The rate of SMIs with ANS contribution is consistent with the Member State level, showing a marginally increasing trend.

Quality of occurences reporting

The number of occurrences reported at Member State level seems consistent with the occurrences reported at the ANSP level, both for SMIs and RIs.
