Traffic (En route traffic zone)
▪ Belgium/Luxembourg recorded 1,200K actual IFR movements in 2024, +3.6% compared to 2023 (1,158K).
▪ Actual 2024 IFR movements were -3.5% below the plan (1,244K).
▪ Actual 2024 IFR movements represent 96% of the actual 2019 level (1,249K).
▪ Belgium-Luxembourg recorded 2,514K actual service units in 2024, +2.7% compared to 2023 (2,247K).
▪ Actual 2024 service units were -1.8% below the plan (2,560).
▪ Actual 2024 service units represent 96% of the actual 2019 level (2,620K).
Safety (Main ANSP)
▪ ANA Lux recorded difficulties in progressing the EoSM in line with the performance plan. ANA Lux achieved the RP3 targets in four out of five Management Objectives in 2024, with Safety Risk Management missing the target on two out of three questions.
▪ Luxembourg recorded a decrease in the rate of runway incursions and a significant increase in the rate of separation minima infringements.
▪ Luxembourg should ensure that the ANSP implements, in a timely and cost-efficient manner, the necessary additional measures such as enhanced processes, improved allocation of resources, targeted training, and systematic reviews. Without such actions, the achievement of the RP4 targets could be jeopardised.
Capacity (Member State)
▪ Luxembourg registered an average airport arrival ATFM delay of 0.55 minutes per flight in 2024, thus not achieving the local target of 0.05 minutes.
▪ Compared to 2023, average arrival ATFM delays in Luxembourg were 59% lower in 2024, while the number of IFR arrivals remained the same.
▪ The main drivers of delays were ATC disruptions, accounting for 51% of delays, ATC staffing and Weather, responsible for 17-17%.
Cost-efficiency (En route/Terminal charging zone(s))
▪ The en route 2024 actual unit cost of Belgium-Luxembourg was 87.09€2017, +8.5% higher than the determined unit cost (80.26€2017). The terminal 2024 actual unit cost of Luxembourg was 276.00€2017, +25% higher than the determined unit cost (220.13€2017).
▪ The en route 2024 actual service units (2.5M) were -1.8% lower than the determined service units (2.6M).
▪ The en route 2024 actual total costs were +13M€2017 (+6.6%) higher than determined. The gap was mainly due to the negative exceptional item which was included in the determined costs to achieve the RP3 cost-efficiency targets, but is not included in the actual costs. This was partially offset by lower staff costs than planned (-8.6M€2017, or -8.4%) for skeyes, which the NSA attributed to difficulties in recruitment.
▪ The en route actual unit cost incurred by users in 2024 was 97.80€ (-0.7% below the 2024 DUC). The terminal actual unit cost incurred by users was 186.67€ (-31% below the 2024 DUC) for Belgium and 226.12€ (-14% below the 2024 DUC) for Luxembourg. The differences between the AUCU and the DUC for the terminal charging zones of Belgium and Luxembourg are mainly affected by the adjustment of other revenues.
