Environment - Malta

Download Report

PRB monitoring

▪ Malta achieved a KEA performance of 1.49% compared to its target of 1.80% and contributed positively towards achieving the Union-wide target.

▪ The NSA states that despite the optimised route profiles, the sanctions imposed by Algeria and Morocco impacted the efficiency of its airspace.

▪ KEP improved marginally and SCR remained stable compared to 2023.

▪ The share of CDO flights increased from 50.31% to 54.66% in 2024.

▪ Additional taxi out time increased from 1.97 to 2.29 min/flight, while additional time in terminal airspace increased from 0.73 to 1.05 min/flight in 2024 compared to 2023.

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

This indicator is not monitored for airports below 80 000 IFR movements average during the 2016-2018 period, so it is not monitored for any airport in this state.

ASMA

This indicator is not monitored for airports below 80 000 IFR movements average during the 2016-2018 period, so it is not monitored for any airport in this state.

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

Focus CDOs

The share of CDO flights at Malta (LMML) increased to 54.7% (+4.4 percentage points) which is again well above the overall RP3 value in 2024 (29.3%) and in the higher range of all observed values in 2024.
